UME have been an essential part of the planning and design team that have translated our vision for primary care
and community services into Health and Well-Being Centres that will be fit for purpose for the future.

Design process/challenges
The hospital opened on time and fully equipped in March, 2003. The PFI has operated successfully ever since, completing its first major life cycle replacement of the Trust transfer CT scanner in late 2005.Funds raised comprise £10.1M from Bank of Ireland and £1.1M from the sole shareholder, UME Investment, total £11.2M. The life cycle obligations require a facility that increases and decreases over time. We were able to agree a revolving facility with Bank of Ireland at an affordable cost to the Trust and which is fair and workable to both the equity and bank investors.
