NORTH Middlesex Hospital is to undergo a £74m privately financed redevelopment scheme.
The Edmonton hospital will be given the major revamp after health minister John Hutton gave the plan the go-ahead this week.
Work on the Private Finance Initiative project is due to start in July 2004 with completion in 2007.
Mr Hutton said: "The scheme will provide a 21st century healthcare environment for 21st century healthcare delivery, which means a better environment for patients and staff."
The development will include much disruption to the hospital including the demolition of existing blocks which will turn the area into a building site for three years.
Under the scheme, North Mid will have a new creche, library, offices, clinics, consulting rooms and training centre.
