Community Hospitals
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many community hospitals are currently operational in England.
- Answer
-
Community hospitals are small local hospitals or units providing a range of clinical services to their local population. These services may include community beds, clinics, minor injuries services, diagnostic facilities, day care, mental health services, and maternity care.
Community hospital functions are carried out in a range of settings including intermediate care and rehabilitation settings, not just in buildings called ‘community hospitals’. Some providers will have multiple sites, and some acute hospitals will have community wards. This means the number of community hospitals in England is not held centrally.
