£50 million pounds will be spent at Torbay Hospital over the next decade.
The investment plans were revealed in the NHS Trust’s annual report which was considered at it’s annual meeting on Wednesday.
The improvements and repairs are being carried out at the hospital to combat a ‘significant backlog’ of maintenance and ensure the hospital remains fit for purpose in the future.
The strategy is due to be considered by the South Devon Healthcare NHS Foundation trust’s board next week.
