The Main Ward Block in 1983

1983 was 8 years since the Main Block first opened. This year the plans to build a 2nd District General Hospital was revisited by hospital staff and the Health Authority.

Events during 1983
Prev year in existence - The Main Ward Block in 1982
 * In September 1983, the Main Ward Block had been in use for 8 years.
 * In early October 1983, 40 hospital doctors met to discuss building a second District General Hospital for Norwich. They wanted the new hospital to have 750 beds. This would relieve the current hospital of the pressure it was having with too many patients but would probably ensure the closure of the West Norwich and Hellesdon sites. A new hospital would ease waiting lists.
