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

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.

More details

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.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
