Create 600 extra staffed beds at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital (GRH)

More details

GRH was built c1974. The population has increased significantly since then. Glos currently has <1.5 hospital beds per 1000 people where the national average is 2.4. Ambulance crews spend half of their life queuing outside GRH with mostly frail & elderly people on stretchers that are not designed for long lies. You CAN'T keep building houses and NOT hospitals.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about facilities at local hospitals are a matter for individual NHS trusts and integrated care boards, not the UK Government or Parliament, so I’m afraid we aren’t able to accept your petition.

You can find out how to contact your local integrated care board here: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/find-your-local-integrated-care-board/
