New Autism Hospital Proposed For Steelworks Site

Some 400 jobs could be created with the development of a new £30m hospital for autistic people with mental health issues.

Proposed for a former steelworks site in Mostyn, Flintshire, the hospital would aim to help up to 100 adults from Wales and the north west of England.

Around 400 full and part-time jobs, ranging from specialist doctors to nursing, administration and maintenance staff, could be created by the development, which has been proposed by Langland Securities Ltd.

Flintshire Council will run a public consultation on the proposal.
