Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge Town Council are aware of residents’ concerns regarding the consultation on proposed bed closures at community hospitals in Somerset. The Town Council wrote to Somerset NHS Foundation Trust to ask for assurances that the number of beds would not change at Burnham War Memorial Community Hospital and if any changes are being considered that residents be consulted. A copy of the reply is attached.
On behalf of the Town Council, Cllr Sharon Perry will also be attending the Adults and Health Scrutiny Committee later this week, to raise these points.
