Circle Health CEO Paolo Pieri said: “This state-of-the-art hospital will bring to Birmingham the high-quality care and excellent hospitality for which Circle Health is well-known, and is an important part of Circle’s strategy to add scale to the group.

“The intention is also to add a significant number of beds for physical and neurological rehabilitation, along with the latest rehabilitation technology. We’re pleased to work with Simons Group to make our newest hospital a reality.”

Simons has also signed contracts with Medical Properties Trust as part of the project.

Simons chief executive Tom Robinson was quoted by media sources as saying: “It’s going to be a really exciting project for Simons. The hospital will fill a gap in the UK patient pathway and help to relieve pressure on private and NHS services.
