"A capital allocation was made at the start of the financial year 2018/2019 which concentrated on the replacement of windows throughout the site and to address damage to floors and walls within the minor injuries and ward areas.

"The phased improvement work is currently under way, and primarily includes improvements to flooring, decoration and lighting to the x-ray department, link bridge and the first floor of the Martin Dale Block."
