Trelawny Wing
1998 saw the official opening of the £27 million Trelawny Wing - the largest ever single investment in health care in Cornwall. This was the culmination of six years of planning and development by the Trust and marks the completion of the District General Hospital for Cornwall. The wing ensures facilities in Cornwall are equal to those found in any of the other District General Hospitals in the country.
