Watchdog warns of ward closures
|
|
A patient watchdog has expressed concern over suggestions two wards may be closed at a Cornwall hospital.
The Public and Patient Involvement Forum at Treliske Hospital said two wards are likely to shut in a bid reduce a �31m health trust debt.
They fear Pendarves medical ward and Carn Brea cardiac ward could go.
A spokesman for the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust refused to deny the claim, but said specific cost-cutting decisions had not yet been taken.
The trust is facing a projected �31m deficit and having to cut up to 300 jobs.
