CCDHB to add six ICU beds

Capital & Coast DHB has approved a multi-million dollar project to increase Wellington Regional Hospital’s intensive care unit from 18 to 24 beds.

Building work will begin this year and the expansion is expected to be completed by next winter, allowing nearly 100 additional complex surgeries per year. The unit currently has around 1,500 ICU admissions each – more than half from other DHBs around the lower North Island and upper South Island.
