Dozens of hospital A&E units are facing closure or being downgraded – and doctors are warning the move could have ‘disastrous’ consequences for the NHS.
In a series of documents drawn up to remodel the NHS in England, 24 units are marked for potential closure.
And they’re situated all around the country in areas including, Essex, Surrey, Durham and Somerset.
Here are the A&E units actively marked for closure or downgrade:
Alexandra Hospital, Redditch
Dewsbury and District Hospital
– Ealing Hospital, west London
– King George Hospital, east London
– Poole Hospital, Dorset
– City Hospital, Birmingham
– Sandwell District General Hospital
According to NHS sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs), neighbouring units in several areas are set to go ‘head to head’ to decide who stays and who goes.
The winner will remain a full A&E unit, and the loser will face closure or downgrade.

– George Eliot Hospital, Nuneaton, Warwickshire

May as well turn it into a nursing home,as it won't be much use as a hospital the way things are going.
