The project will be completed in two phases, with the 48-bed unit to the rear of the site to be delivered as part of the first construction phase, while phase two will entail a further 44 beds including two ten-bed dementia units and three associated courtyards over one and two storeys.
Initial works are due to start once the new day care centre is completed.
