In October last year, the planning committee of City of York Council granted planning approval for the new acquired brain injury hospital.

The hospital will provide 36 beds across four wards and four assessment flats along with three private and internal courtyards and a therapeutic garden.

It will provide 145 healthcare jobs and retain mental health service in the city after closing The Retreat.

Construction engineering firm GMI Construction has been selected as contractor for the development of the new hospital, which is expected to be completed by February 2023.
