Liverpool City
Council's Joint Statement With A Local Hospital
IN a press release about
the New Royal, both the hospital and Liverpool City Council have
issued this joint statement about the planning permission approved
read as follows:-
Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, said:- "It is now all
systems go for the new hospital, which is fantastic news for the
City. This world class facility will bring massive health, education
and economic benefits. We will continue to support the Trust to
deliver its ambitious proposals and make sure we maximise its
impact, both during construction and when it opens."
Aidan Kehoe, chief executive said:- "We are delighted that
Liverpool City Council have approved Carillion's planning
application and would like to thank Councillors, MPs and the people
of Liverpool for their support. With the new Royal we are creating a
new kind of hospital designed to meet the needs of the people of
Liverpool and Merseyside and dealing with the health challenges we
face. It will provide both the most advanced treatment and the
highest standards of comfort, privacy and dignity for patients. The
new Royal will set the standard for what a 21st Century NHS should
be like. The BioCampus that will be built on the current hospital
site, will make Liverpool a City that develops and attracts global
talent. It will generate 5,000 high value jobs, many of which will
be provided by the City's University Technical College and will help
the City develop a thriving knowledge economy. It will be a centre
for leading international clinicians, pioneering researchers and
cutting-edge Life Science businesses. This development will change
the fortunes of the City, improving the health and wealth of
Liverpool."
Austin Bell, project director, Carillion said:- "The new Royal
will be one of the biggest construction projects in the City. It
will provide 750 full time construction jobs, 60% of these will be
for local people and 15% from priority wards in the City. There will
be 100 apprenticeships, along with opportunities for homeless people
and 16 to 24 year olds who are experiencing barriers to learning and
employment. In addition, 60% of the construction spend of the
project will go to the local area, supporting local businesses. This
project will change people's lives creating new opportunities for
jobs and training that otherwise wouldn't be here in Liverpool. We
are looking forward to getting started on the construction works and
bringing this fantastic project to life." |
