St Peters Consultation

Community hospital stroke rehabilitation and intermediate care inpatient services

The ICS are consulting on two options for arranging intermediate care beds and stroke rehabilitation beds at the community hospitals. These are in addition to the independent living and rehabilitation support the ICS and local councils already provide to patients at home, in residential care places, and in community clinics.

Further details on the two specific proposals the ICS are consulting on are available on page 45 of the consultation document here.

Out of the two options being proposed, which (if either), would you feel closest to matching the needs of the local population

Midwife-led birthing unit

The ICS are consulting on one option for the location of a freestanding midwife-led birthing unit in our area: A freestanding midwife-led birthing unit to be based at the William Julien Courtauld Birthing unit in St Michael’s Health Centre at Braintree Community Hospital.

This option would mean:

  • Eligible people would have the choice to travel to Braintree to give birth, supported by their midwives.
  • Where there are complications that need hospital support, patients would transfer to Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford.

Further details on the specific proposal the ICS are consulting on is available on page 60 of the consultation document here.

How would you rate the proposal for the permanent relocation of a midwife-led birthing unit to Braintree for people living in mid and south Essex?

All other patient services at St Peter’s Hospital, Maldon

If the proposals for community hospital stroke rehabilitation, intermediate care inpatient services and the permanent relocation of a midwife-led birthing unit go ahead, it will mean the possibility of moving all the other patient services provided at St Peter’s Hospital, Maldon to other locations in and around Maldon.

If there is a decision to move all the services the Integrated Care Board is responsible for at St Peter’s Hospital to other locations, it’s likely that Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, the owner of St Peter’s Hospital, will decide to close the hospital permanently.

Further details on the specific proposal the ICS are consulting on is available on page 66 of the consultation document here.
