History edit
The foundation stone for the hospital was laid in May 1903.[1] It was designed by Alfred J. Wood using a compact arrow layout and was opened as the Newport Borough Asylum in January 1906.[1] It became Newport County Borough Mental Hospital in 1919 and St. Cadoc's Emergency Hospital during the Second World War.[1] It took its name from Saint Cadoc, patron saint of the local church. It joined the National Health Service as St Cadoc's Hospital in 1948.[1] A new admission unit and outpatient clinic was completed in 1961.[1]
