Weston General Hospital
Weston General Hospital is a crucial part of the local NHS in the south west. It is in the heart of the main community it serves, has excellent resources and caring staff.
However, being part of the smallest acute Trust in England, the hospital has struggled with increasing demand for services, the long-term recruitment of doctors in some specialties and delivering services within the money available. Many of these issues have been ongoing for years despite intense efforts locally and regionally to resolve them.
As with any hospital, the services provided are part of a wider system of care and all partners are committed to making Weston General Hospital a success and a permanent part of the local health system.
Working with health and social care partners, the CCG have developed a number of ideas that they are confident will help secure the future of the hospital – but they are not fixed plans and they want to know what you think.
There is no doubt that things need to change because some services are not sustainable in their current form and all the services needed to support a growing population cannot be provided from one relatively small hospital.
The CCG need a solution that makes the best use of the hospital facilities, with the best mix of staff that gets the best outcomes for patients.
