The foundation stone was laid in 2007 just before regional elections, and the hospital should have been put into operation two years later, but nothing went according to the plan. In 2012, the works were stopped, and they were not resumed until more than a year later, with the objective of finishing them before the local and regional elections of 2015, which was accomplished, although the hospital is only partially functional. The final cost of €89 million means a cost overrun of 50% above the initial budget.
