St George's Park is a mental health facility in Morpeth, Northumberland. It is managed by Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust.
History
The site for the new facility, which replaced the old St George's Hospital, is slightly to the north of the old hospital.[1] It was procured under a private finance initiative contract in 2004.[2] The new facility was built by Robertson Group at a cost of £27 million and opened in 2006.[3]
From 2015 the hospital has been the base of the Northumberland Initial Response Team which provides emergency mental health care and is available 24 hours.[4]
