The building will be built on the Trust's existing site and the Trust will retain ownership of the building. The project will be funded by NHS England. Provision of funding is dependent on the CDC being delivered by 31/03/2026. The estimated value of the additional services/works to be supplied under this variation is approximately £14,336,000.
