The Issue

There are NO PLANS for a modern, classic COMMUNITY HOSPITAL to be built on the "Ellen Badger" redevelopment site in Shipston on Stour, Warwickshire (hospital being particularly suited to this rural area).

Services your Community Hospital can include:

Inpatient Beds;  Clinics;  Minor Injuries Units;  X-Ray Facilities;  Day Care;   Outpatients;  Primary Care and Outreach Service; Inpatient Care for Elderly Sick & Dying & More.  Led by GPs and Nursing Staff.         

Current Plans, work in progress, under South Warwickshire NHS Trust, affiliated to Coventry & Warwick Integrated Care Board (2022), is building a 'Health & Wellbeing Centre Hub ("health trend into the future ... to stay Healthy and Happy") with no inpatient beds in place of the demolished Ellen Badger Hospital, the Replacement Hospital on title of initial plans. A Community Hospital has inpatient beds, (40+) and all associated facilities.  The Wellbeing Hub's area footprint on the Shipston redevelopment site leaves no site space for a hospital now or at any time. SWFT uses the word 'hospital' in their site works description.  This is a misrepresentation and has misled the general public.     

PLEASE SUPPORT THIS PETITION IF YOU WANT AN 'ELLEN BADGER' COMMUNITY HOSPITAL IN SHIPSTON AND YOU LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY AREA AFFECTED BY THIS!    

HUB WORKS PLANNED FOR APRIL 2023!
