The funding unlocks the primary part of a wider £60m transformation of the location and sees modular specialist MTX Contracts appointed to ship the centre.
The funding dedication follows greater than a decade of false begins.
Again in 2013, ministers backed plans for a £22m, 30-bed hospital on the Royal Alex website that was on account of open in 2016. However 9 years on from that projected completion date, work has but to start.
Planning consent was secured in 2020, just for the scheme to stall as Covid disruption and spiralling inflation blew aside value plans.
A “paired-back” model has since been taken ahead by Betsi Cadwaladr College Well being Board. The brand new-build component, due for completion in 2027, represents part one of many total funding. A separate enterprise case protecting refurbishment and upgrades to the present hospital buildings is anticipated to comply with.
The revised proposals centre on a brand new 14-bed ward, a Minor Accidents and Illnesses Unit, expanded radiology and a dental facility with 4 new suites.
In a joint assertion, well being board chair Dyfed Edwards and chief government Carol Shillabeer stated approval of the enterprise case means preparatory work and development can now progress.
