Mental hospital awards $830M contract

St. Joseph Health Care has awarded a contract for a new $830 million mental health care facilities to consortium led by London-based EllisDon Corp.
The projects will include a new 156-bed mental health care treatment centre that will be built adjacent to Parkwood Hospital in London and a second 89-bed facility for forensic mental health care in St. Thomas dealing with patients involved in the criminal justice system.
Controversial mental health restructuring in London would see 70 beds cut from the system.
