The second phase of works will feature eleven ambulatory care cubicles as well as pharmacy and associated support rooms.

The £7.7 million project is to be completed in March 2016.

Doug Keillor, Regional Director, BAM Construction: "The hospital has remained fully functional throughout this first phase with minimum disruption experienced by all the staff, visitors and patients, which is the most important aspect of working in a live hospital.

"The new facilities are first class and will provide a welcoming environment for people seeking emergency medical care and their families."
