The PCT declared at Sudbury Town Council that they hoped to go to tender at the end of May for a preferred developer and by the summer they should have this in place. They confirmed that no Walnuttree beds would close till the new intermediate care teams and the replacement beds in residential/nursing homes were in place. They also confirmed that everything in the Secretary of State's letter on health care provision will be followed so all clinics will remain in Sudbury and then move to the new facility so that Walnuttree and St Leonards can be closed. They also reaffirmed their wish or expectation that a GP practice will be attached to that new facility.
Interestingly, they confirmed that Newmarket are keeping NHS beds in their hospital and getting a minor injuries unit. Why not Sudbury? That is exactly what we wanted?
