Some Mid Staffs services to move to neighbouring hospitals

The changes recommended following this independent process, supported by local doctors, will secure the safe and high quality services that the people of Stafford deserve having endured years of uncertainty and failures in care.

90 per cent of patient visits will continue locally, with a minority of services eventually being moved to neighbouring hospitals once the local NHS is satisfied there is sufficient capacity.

I want Stafford to be a proper district hospital that continues to meet the needs of patients nearby, including for emergency care and births.
