As set out in the Trust's Full Business Case, it has been agreed that works at Christchurch Hospital, including those to enable the MacMillan palliative unit, are being funded and taken forward by the trust directly, in collaboration with the Macmillan Caring Locally Charity. The New Hospital Programme will be building a new hospital for Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust at Alumhurst Road as supported by the local and regional health system.
