History
Built at a cost of £6 million, Leighton Hospital was officially opened by the Queen in May 1972.[1][2] It replaced older facilities at Crewe District Memorial Hospital,[3] Crewe Works Hospital (built by the London and North Western Railway Company),[4] the Linden Grange Maternity Hospital[5] and Coppenhall Hospital in Crewe, and Nantwich Cottage Hospital and the Barony Hospital in Nantwich.[6]
Following an inspection in March 2018 the hospital was rated "good" by the Care Quality Commission[7] and in June 2018 the hospital was recognised with a national award for patient experience.[8]
