• The Nelson Marlborough District Health Board proposes to spend $1.2 million planning a $120m to $150m redevelopment of Nelson Hospital.

Planning is estimated to take two years and it would be another four to five years before construction begins on the multi-million dollar improvements.

Increasing demands on hospital services due to the region’s aging and growing population, the need for more hospital beds and improving the buildings earthquake standards are some of the reasons for the proposed redevelopment.
