Closed Fund the creation of cottage hospitals to free up acute NHS beds.

Closed on

Acute beds in our hospitals are filled with patients fit for discharge but not well enough to be at home as they need convalescent time or a care package. Funding for cottage hospitals should help alleviate the Ambulance crisis, where they are queuing for whole shifts outside A & E.

So that the NHS works. For the last 30 years successive governments have made cut backs in real terms including shutting all our cottage hospitals.
