Lluesty Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Lluesty) was a community hospital in Holywell, Flintshire, Wales. It was managed by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.

History

The hospital had its origins in the Holywell Union Workhouse which was designed by John Welch and completed in 1840.[1] A separate infirmary was added in 1913.[2] The facility became the Luesty Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and then joined the National Health Service as Lluesty General Hospital in 1948.[2] After services transferred to Holywell Community Hospital, Lluesty Hospital closed in 2008.[3]
