Uncertainty over Hemel’s last Hospital beds drags on
- The future of Hemel Hospital’s final beds is clouded by uncertainty
- A review of the services of the 20-bed St Peter’s rehabilitation ward should have been finished by December 2025
- The ward is run by Central London Community Healthcare Trust
- The ward has an important role in helping patients ‘patients to manage their own health conditions and look after themselves.’
- Now DHAG has learned via an FOI bid that the review won’t be made public until the summer or autumn of this year
- NHS bosses give mixed messages about whether the ward could transfer to the Market Square ‘neighbourhood health centre’ Hub
- The Trust list of services planned for inclusion in the Hub refers to an ‘Inpatient rehabilitation ward’
- But the only floor plan made public makes no mention of the ward
