Some of Airedale Hospital’s more modern estate could be retained and used by other groups when the facility undergoes a rebuild.
Around 80 per cent of the hospital is constructed from RAAC concrete, and is decades old.
Government has provided up to £1.5b funding for a new hospital to be built on the site, with the existing hospital to be demolished.
But at a meeting of the Bradford and Airedale Health and Wellbeing Board last month, members were told that the sections of the hospital built with more modern materials could be retained alongside the new hospital.
Stuart Shaw, Director of Strategy, Planning and Partnerships at Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, said:
“£80 per cent of the building is RAAC, but 20 per cent is good, modern estate.
“We’re looking at keeping that on the table and see what we can do with it.”
Members were told that the facilities could be used by other health organisations, and that a hospice had approached the Trust to see if it could use the buildings.
Bradford Council Leader Susan Hinchcliffe asked how long the new hospital’s lifespan would be.
She was told the new building would have a lifespan of at least 60 years.
