This marks the end of a 15-year programme to relocate the last patients from ageing units affected by weather-tightness and air quality issues.
The 60-bed multi-story E Tu Wairua Hinengaro building allows modern models of care...and a further 57 fulltime staff will be recruited for it.
Patients will be moved into the unit over several months, starting from the end of February.
