October 2006 Lincoln NHS Housing Phase One complete

PCP Architects, working with Progress Care Housing Association and United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, have completed the first phase of a £22m project to replace and refurbish keyworker accommodation at Lincoln County Hospital , Grantham & District Hospital , County Hospital Louth and Pilgrim Hospital in Boston.

Medical staff including doctors in training, consultants and medical students have now started to move into the first of 457 units of purpose built accommodation and 130 refurbished homes at four of the Trust's hospitals.



Once fully completed, there will be more than 300 new homes at Boston whilst at Lincoln there will be 111 new units with 109 existing refurbished properties. Grantham has already gained 46 new homes and four refurbishments and Louth now has 17 refurbished properties including four family homes. 259 of the units will meet the Government's strict three star standard for medical staff. The star system is set by the Central Government to ensure medical staff have access to safe, high quality accommodation.

The development across all four sites will be completed by summer 2007.
