Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) announced BAM’s appointment after funding was confirmed by Vaughan Gething, the Welsh government’s health secretary.

Construction of the Sub-Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Centre (SuRNICC) is now starting and the unit is expected to open in 2018. The first new-build phase of works is scheduled to complete in autumn 2017.

The project re-unites BAM’s Rob Bailey with the hospital for whom he previously delivered the cancer treatment centre, just a few years ago. Mr Bailey, who lives in nearby Deeside, is currently completing the new Urgent Care & Trauma facilities for Aintree Hospital.

Mr Bailey said: “We’ve been working with the Health Board for some time to develop the business case for the new neo natal facilities. I’m delighted that funding is now secured and the scheme can be delivered. I’m very fortunate to be working with a client that has such an incredible life changing impact for people in North Wales.”
