Graham Construction and Bam Ireland have been appointed to develop a new £57million maternity hospital at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.

The joint venture will be delivered through Graham-Bam Healthcare Partnership.

Located on the main Royal Victoria Hospital site next to the existing maternity hospital, the new facility will include delivery suites, obstetric theatres and the neonatal intensive care unit all on one floor. There will also be a midwifery-led unit as part of the same facility, with ensuite rooms, each with a birthing pool.

Ron Clarke Managing Director for Building at Graham Construction, said: "We are delighted to have been selected by the Belfast Trust to construct the new maternity unit on the Royal Victoria Hospital complex. This new building will be a friendly and welcoming environment with state-of-the-art facilities and more choice, to better meet the needs of the women who will use it."
