Progress Care Housing Association has signed a £22m deal with United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, to provide 460 new custom designed units of accommodation and 130 refurbished units for hospital staff at Lincoln County Hospital, Grantham District Hospital, County Hospital Louth and Pilgrim Hospital in Boston.

The development is expected to be completed by 2008 and will enable the Trust to offer high quality single and family key worker accommodation to hospital staff, student nurses and doctors in training.

The Trust awarded the contract to Progress Care after a strict selection process, extensive consultations with residents and Trust representatives and two years of negotiations.

The project will see:

• More than 300 new homes at Pilgrim Hospital in Boston
• 111 new homes and 109 existing properties being re-furbished at Lincoln Hospital.
• 46 new homes and 4 refurbishments at Grantham
• 17 refurbishments at Louth.

The provision of good quality accommodation is an essential element in the Trust's ability to recruit and retain staff in order to maintain high quality healthcare services.
