[4] The Marquess of Bristol, whose former home was Ickworth House near Bury St Edmunds, opened a new Friends of the Hospital shop in June 2013.

[9] Matt Hancock, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care requested an independent review into the treatment of whistleblowers at West Suffolk Hospital.

[12] A whistleblower alleges a doctor involved in Nunn's care had previously endangered patients by injecting himself with drugs while on duty.

[15] In August 2021, it was revealed that RAAC was used in the construction of the building, leading to concerns over public safety and the need for ongoing maintenance work costing over £70m, including spending tens of millions of pounds on a lattice structure to catch any falling concrete planks.

[17] The West Suffolk NHS Foundation sought an upgrade to the hospital, as the original buildings have long passed their intended 30 year lifespan, and in 2019 funding was announced to allow planning to begin.

[18][19] The new hospital will be built on the 70 acres (28 ha) grounds of Hardwick House with plans to incorporate existing buildings into the new complex.
