| Title | HRH The Duke of York opens Coppetts Wood House |
| Date | 21 Oct 2008 |
HRH The Duke of York, KG, Patron of the Royal Free Hampstead HNS Hospital Trust, visited Coppetts Wood House, our new accommodation block for hospital staff on the 20th October to officially open the building.
Coppetts Wood House stands on the site of the former William Gunn House and provides homes for more than 200 members of the hospital's staff. The new building provides more than double the accommodation previously available at William Gun House.
The cost of living at Coppetts Wood House is at about £300 a month less than comparable private rents.
HRH The Duke of York said: 'I am delighted to support this development as patron of the Royal Free Hospital. I know it will provide much needed affordable accommodation to dozens of staff at the the Royal Free, and that's crucial if we are to continue to attract high quality employees to London.'
