The project is one of a number of PFI hospitals that the government announced in February 2002, which are worth a total of £1bn.
The Lewisham hospital is one of five pilot PFI hospitals to be overseen by the Prince of Wales, acting as design champion in a joint initiative between The Prince's Foundation and NHS Estates, launched in November 2001.
The other pilots chosen are: Hope Hospital in Salford, Greater Manchester; Central Middlesex Hospital, west London; Pinderfields in Wakefield, West Yorkshire; and mental health facilities in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear.
