Oxfordshire health authority is planning to cut millions of pounds from its mental health services in an attempt to move out of the red. A public consultation document proposes savings of £1.3m in Oxfordshire Mental Healthcare trust s budget this year, rising to £4.3m in 2001-02, to achieve a balanced budget. A programme of asset sales is also proposed to repay a cumulative deficit of £6m. The cuts follow ministers decision to give the go-ahead to the closure of Burford and Wallington community hospitals. Campaign group Save Oxfordshire Community Hospitals and Services, which had opposed the closures, is negotiating to buy Burfords hospital for £1m.
