New Craigs Psychiatric Hospital

New Craigs Psychiatric Hospital is a hospital situated in Leachkin, on the western outskirts of Inverness, Scotland.[1]

It is a 234-bed healthcare campus that provides mental health and learning disability accommodation.[2]

New Craigs opened in July 2000, and replaced Craig Dunain Hospital and Craig Phadrig Hospital, which were both located nearby.[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.[2] 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]
