Wouldnt it be great in the new world to ditch the word hospital and change it to a community care. This would allow the transformation which is needed without getting hung up on the word hospital. Hospital is not a healthy word. If you want to have innovation then change the thinking and MP could lead the change instead of thinking of votes.

Community hospitals have different services which doesnt need to be linked to an community hospital bed.

In relation to community hospital beds, I have concerns that GP's are servicing the community hospital bed patients are more complex than before and the skills needed for the medical coverage is different. The patients who were in community hospitals are now in care homes and the community beds are more step down from acute...Hence Medical coverage is needed 24/7 with competent dr, not coverage from OOH.

Grow up and embrace change.
