It was officially opened on 27 October by Rt Hon Rhodri Morgan AM MP, the First Minister for Wales.
The 84 bed hospital provides primary, community and secondary care delivered from one location. As well as hospital services the building also houses two GP practices. It was built and will be operated for 25 years by Kintra Ltd for a capital cost of approx £10m[1], and an annual charge of £1.2m to Gwent Healthcare NHS Trust[2]
The modern hospital building incorporates mementoes from the past, including the old Admiralty portico moulding from the front facade of the former Mount Pleasant Hospital, which was located on an adjacent site now developed as a housing estate. Mount Pleasant Hospital had been built by the Admiralty in 1917 for workers at the National Shipyard in Chepstow, but from 1919 became used for ex-servicemen more generally, and later for the community as a whole. It became particularly well known for its burns treatment and plastic surgery work.[3]
