The hospital will be located in the centre of the town at Maison Dieu Road, close to the Citizens' Advice Bureau and other social facilities. Construction is expected to begin this autumn, with the hospital being open for use in the summer of 2011.
David Paterson, Managing Director of Interserve Project Services, commented, "We recognise that this hospital will be an important facility for the people of Dover and the surrounding area of Kent and are proud to have been chosen to deliver it. With experience of more than 90 ProCure21 projects to date, we shall be working closely with the Trust to ensure that we create the modern hospital the community deserves."
