More details

At Calderstones, highly-trained NHS staff provide 24/7 support for 200+ such adults. If the planned closure goes ahead, underfunded private providers, will not be adequate to provide quality 24/7 care to ensure the safety of vulnerable people and the communities where they are placed. Healthwatch Lancashire said that services will only move on when the appropriate care provision is in place, and that The closure of Calderstones hospital has the potential to undermine this plan.
