But nine years on from that projected completion date, work has yet to begin. <\/p>\n<p>Planning consent was secured in 2020, only for the scheme to stall as Covid disruption and spiralling inflation blew apart cost plans.<\/p>\n<p>A \u201cpaired-back\u201d version has since been taken forward by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board. The new-build element, due for completion in 2027, represents phase one of the overall investment. A separate business case covering refurbishment and upgrades to the existing hospital buildings is expected to follow.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionenquirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-02-23-at-16.35.51.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constructionenquirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-02-23-at-16.35.51.png\" alt=\"-\" width=\"1010\" height=\"594\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-505968\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The revised proposals centre on a new 14-bed ward, a Minor Injuries and Ailments Unit, expanded radiology and a dental facility with four new suites. <\/p>\n<p>In a joint statement, health board chair Dyfed Edwards and chief executive Carol Shillabeer said approval of the business case means preparatory work and construction can now progress.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<footer class=\"entry-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-info\">\n<div class=\"sleeve\">\n<div class=\"author-avatar\">\n<div class=\"sleeve\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constructionenquirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/userphoto\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Aaron Morby\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"photo\">\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .author-info -->\t\t\t<\/footer>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionenquirer.com\/2026\/02\/23\/33m-lifeline-for-stalled-rhyl-hospital-health-hub\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This article was originally posted at Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The funding unlocks the first phase of a wider \u00a360m transformation of the site and sees modular specialist MTX &#8230; <a title=\"\u00a333m lifeline for stalled Rhyl hospital health hub\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/33m-lifeline-for-stalled-rhyl-hospital-health-hub\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about \u00a333m lifeline for stalled Rhyl hospital health hub\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1089],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-construction-enquirer","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34410\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
