on the patient. In response to the outbreak, the hospital had implemented several control measures, including restricting access to the 8th floor of the main building (where ward 8A was situated), suspension of some services, and dividing the medical team into a dirty team and a clean team. The dirty team, led by Professor Joseph Sung, was responsible for taking care of SARS patients. The clean team was barred from the SARS wards. The outbreak in the hospital eventually affected 239 individuals. Recent developments The hospital has undergone redevelopment since 2007. The Main Clinical Block and Trauma Centre, a fourteen-storey new building, was built on the site of the original helipad and tennis court. With a total gross floor area of 71,500 square metres, the new building provides in-patient services, operating theatres and day services. Construction work started on 23 April 2007 and the new building was opened in late 2010. The hospital began its 10-year phase 2 redevelopment project in 2018. The construction of a new In-patient Extension Block is expected to complete in 2025-2026. In November 2013, the hospital was accredited by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards International.
