Mossley Hill Hospital Redevelopment Update – February 2022

After seven months on site to remove old, worn out and unfit buildings at Mossley Hill Hospital, Liverpool, demolition experts Connell Brothers Limited have cleared the site and formally handed it back to our clients Mersey Care NHS Trust Foundation.

LSHP continue to support this major hospital redevelopment scheme and the next stage will see remedial site investigations and enabling works at the site’s previously adjoining Mossley House, an historic listed building, get underway.

This will pave the way for redeveloping the site as a state-of-the-art mental health hospital, offering 80 single en suite bedrooms, therapy and activity areas, and safe ward garden areas.

Subject to a statutory approvals process which has proceeded through its initial stages of scrutiny at local, regional and national level, the aim is to build the new hospital by 2024. Construction company GRAHAM has been appointed as the contractors for the new build.

Supporting the delivery of the COVID-19 Booster programme.

Using data gathered from the earlier utilisation and feasibility studies, we were able to free-up space in both the Southport Centre for Health and Wellbeing and the Ainsdale Centre for Health and Wellbeing to house a 7 day a week COVID-19 vaccine service.

In July this year the Ainsdale Centre for Health and Wellbeing was stepped down as a COVID-19 vaccine site. This allowed community services housed within the Southport Centre to be moved into the vacated space at the Ainsdale Centre, a move that freed-up more space at the Southport Centre for the booster clinic and in turn, increasing utilisation within both sites.

In December 2021 the government asked for the booster sites to step-up delivery to meet the demand for boosters to protect against the new COVID-19 variant. The Southport booster site is now back to running from 8am-8pm, 7 days a week, only closing on Christmas Day and Boxing Day and ongoing into 2022.

Work to demolish the old buildings is progressing well. Connell Brothers have completed much of the first phase of the scheme with a strip-out of metals and materials from the buildings, which are sorted on site. The demolition experts are aiming to recycle 95 per cent of the salvage.
