Work continues on the third operating theatre building at St George’s Hospital. The first phase of the building, which includes the addition of a third operating theatre, recovery room and anaesthetic room, is expected to be completed in October. The new theatre will adjoin the old theatres at the hospital. In the lower half of the new complex, a large X-ray facility will be created and a CAT body scanner will be installed. It is believed to be the first privately owned scanner of its kind in the South Island. The development of the new theatre and X-ray facilities will cost more than a million dollars. The building work is being done by a Christchurch firm, W. Williamson Construction, Ltd.
