History

The hospital, which was designed by Francis Johnston and William Murphy, opened as the Armagh Asylum in 1825.^[1] It expanded with the opening of the Hill Building in 1898.^[2] Following the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s the hospital went into a period of decline and various facilities including inpatient dementia care and inpatient addiction services have been progressively withdrawn.^[3]
