The new location of the Dunedin Hospital site has been announced by Health Minister Dr David Clark.
It will be located on the Cadbury Factory site, and areas surrounding
Health Minister Dr David Clark said today it is a "red letter day for the people of the South who have waited too long for their new hospital".
"Avoiding further delay will minimise costs and gives certainty to all involved in this major undertaking."
"Everyone knows the current hospital buildings are in a bad way, with leaks and asbestos - and they are deteriorating. I'm pleased that after years of delays we are finally on the way to providing the 21st century health facilities the people of the region deserve."
Work on the much anticipated $1.4 billion hospital is intended to begin before the 2020 election.
