Background
History
The hospital has its origins in the Dryburn Emergency Hospital which was established at Dryburn Hall, the former home of William Lloyd Wharton, in 1940, during the Second World War. After the war, the establishment was expanded into a civilian facility known as Dryburn Hospital. It was built by Balfour Beatty with an initial cost of £87 million and opened in 2001. Facilities management services were provided by Engie. Balfour Beatty subsequently sold their stake to Dalmore Capital in 2014.
