Penny Emerit, chief executive at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, said: “The planned new facility will enable us to better meet the needs of our local community and improve the experience for patients accessing our ED by providing the best clinical care in a modern, safe environment.”
The new site is due to be opening next winter.
