Newton Abbot Community Hospital is a brand new, state-of-the-art facility developed by Rydon Construction under a PFI contract, secured by the health and social care division of the Group, Ryhurst.
Under the terms of the PFI, Rydon Maintenance continues to provide Hard Facilities Management services to maintain the hospital over the 25 year contract period. In addition, Rydon Maintenance has taken on the management of the lifecycle fund as part of the Service Level Agreement for the duration of the contract term.
The 60-bed hospital consists of 32 single en-suite bedrooms together with seven four-bedded bays in two wards at first floor level. The facilities include a rehabilitation unit, a minor injury and illness centre, a small maternity unit and a range of outpatient facilities.
