The NHS state that patients will still be referred to their usual local hospital and our hospitals will continue to provide the same routine services for their local patients. At North Mid, these include A&E, maternity, intensive care, paediatrics, acute surgery, acute medicine and community services.


The NHS states that the increased scale of the group will allow them to go further in redesigning services to reduce unwarranted variation, ensuring all patients receive the same high quality care regardless of where they live. It means that they can use their resources more efficiently to treat patients faster as this will enable them to strengthen their approach to population health, with greater coordination to support prevention and tackle inequalities.
