Work will start this week on a new multi-million pound neonatal unit at Noble's Hospital.
It will help provide a high standard of care for babies and meet changing standards in neonatal care.The hospital has found a growing demand for the service, with this expansion set to accommodate ever increasing numbers.
The new unit will be based next to the existing Jane Crookall Maternity Ward and will cost an estimated £4 million.
