History
Planning for Arrowe Park Hospital began in the 1960s, although building did not start until the late 1970s.[2] The facility was built to replace Birkenhead General Hospital in Birkenhead, Highfield Maternity Hospital in Wallasey, Leasowe Hospital in Leasowe, St Catherine's Hospital in Birkenhead and Victoria Central Hospital in Wallasey. The hospital was officially opened by the Queen on 4 May 1982.[3]
In March 2011, following remodelling work at a cost of £11.5 million, the maternity and gynaecology unit was renamed Wirral Women and Children's Hospital.[4][5]
In January 2020, the hospital was designated the quarantine site for UK nationals evacuated from China during the 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak
