I AM writing to update you on the current proposals to develop Moretonhampstead Community Hospital into a health and social care hub that will provide a range of services for the local community. You may already be aware of these proposals and may have attended one of the public meetings or drop-in sessions that we held last year. We are pleased to inform you that since the public meetings and drop-in sessions, we have been working very closely with a 'steering group', formed of local GPs, parish council, the patient participation groups, hospital league of friends, Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust, which runs the hospital, and Northern, Eastern and Western Devon Clinical Commissioning Group. This group is tasked with developing the hub. You may wish to have a look at the dedicated website that we have developed for the public to access updates. On this website, you will find feedback from local residents about how they want to see services provided in the future, statements summarising the current position around the hospital and points describing the next steps. You can access this website here: http://www.healthypeoplemoreton.co.uk">www.healthypeoplemoreton.co.uk In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us on [email protected]">[email protected] or 01392 356 129.
