History
The facility has its origins in the Chester-le-Street Union Workhouse which was designed by Matthew Thompson and opened in 1856.[1] A new infirmary and isolation block were added to the south of the workhouse in 1898.[1] It joined the National Health Service as Chester-le-Street Hospital in 1948.[2] A new hospital was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in 2000: it was built by Robertson Group at a cost of £12 million and completed in 2003.[3]
