The hospital, which was commissioned to replace Neath General Hospital and Port Talbot General Hospital, was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in May 2000.[1] It was designed by SSL[2] and built by Kier Group at a cost of £56 million; it was officially opened by the Prince of Wales on 3 February 2003.[3]
In September 2012 the Health Board announced significant investment to create a new specialist IVF unit and expand the urology unit at the hospital in a bid to recruit and retain experienced clinicians.[4]
In June 2023, a £21M expansion was completed which included three new theatres.[5]
Performance
In May 2014 staff at the hospital was criticised in a report into the death of an elderly patient who had been treated at the hospital; the report found that there had been "variable or poor professional behaviour and practice in the care of frail older people".[6]
