The construction of the building was carried out between 2009 and 2015. Any issues during this time were the responsibility of Brookfield, the contractor. As with all construction work, any issues raised by sub-contractors should have been raised with them at the time.
The building became the responsibility of the NHS when it was handed over to us in early 2015.
As part of the handover from the builder to the NHS, and in preparation for opening, more than three months was spent fitting out, testing and cleaning 7,600 rooms. A full inspection of the building was then completed before opening to patients.
