A further £212,000 of refurbishment works have been approved at Ripon Community Hospital.
NHS Property Services, which owns the building, is carrying out works to the hospital site in an effort to “bring it up to standard”.
The organisation has commissioned Middlesborough-based Maval Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Ltd to carrying out an upgrade to the hospital’s generator.
NHS officials confirmed that the move, which is a £212,262 contract, comes as part of a five-year investment into the site.
As previously reported, the hospital is already in line for a £161,000 refurbishment.

The move will include upgrading some of the 30-year-old flooring, roofing and a range of electrical units for the building.
Health bosses added that the work had been designed with the input of staff and that the nurses’ station will be refurbished along with new kitchen facilities and a staff breakout area.
Martin Salmon, senior construction manager at NHS Property Services, told the Stray Ferret previously:
“NHS Property Services is committed to a 5-year investment plan that aims to bring Ripon Community Hospital up to the very best of standards, providing first-rate facilities for staff and patients.
“We are pleased that once these improvements have been made, they will help the NHS to deliver excellent patient care.”
