History edit
The facility has its origins in the Lurgan Union Workhouse which was designed by George Wilkinson and was completed in January 1841.[1] It became the Lurgan and Portadown District Hospital in 1929 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, evolved to become Lurgan Hospital.[1] Nurse training, which had been established at Lurgan during the Second World War transferred to the Craigavon Area Hospital in 1970.[2] In June 2014 the trust began a consultation on the transfer of stoke inpatient services from Lurgan Hospital to Craigavon Area Hospital.[3]
