History

edit

The facility is a 234-bed healthcare campus that provides mental health and learning disability accommodation.[1] New Craigs, which replaced Craig Dunain Hospital and Craig Phadrig Hospital both of which were both located nearby, opened in July 2000.[3]

The hospital was the first psychiatric facility to be funded under a private finance initiative scheme in Scotland. It was built and managed by Robertson Group, with NHS Highland repaying for the cost over a 25-year contract.[1] Under the PFI arrangement the facility cost £16.5 million to build but the total cost that NHS Highland is expected to bear is estimated at £106 million.[4][5]
