The Hampshire and Isle of  Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is to  hold two public events next week; one online on Wednesday 8 October and a face to face event the next day. Thursday 9 October at 2pm.

Attendees will hear a presentation and can ask questions

Meanwhile MP Damian  Hinds  has   written   to   the   Trust   about  his concerns.

He says  “I do understand that   in   many   cases   recovery   at   home   after   an   acute   hospital   stay  is optimal.”

But he says we need a fundamental assessment of the total rehabilitation ward  capacity needed in   our area, and, he reminds us, these community hospitals also provide end-of-life care.  

He welcomes the extra time but the limited information on the replacement service is a concern
