Community Treatment Centre opens its doors to patients at Stratton Hospital

Stratton Hospital

An exciting new service model which is being described as a Community Treatment Centre will open its ‘virtual’ doors to its first patients on Friday 23 August 2019. The new service can be accessed by calling 111 and will be available between 10pm and 8am every day.

The new service has been developed in partnership with the local community, Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Kernow Health CIC which provides the county’s urgent care service – NHS Cornwall 111.

The service will be provided by staff from Kernow Health CIC working from Stratton Community Hospital.

The Community Treatment Centre will initially be in place until the end of March 2020.

The NHS

Residents in North Cornwall have to travel considerable distances to access specialist NHS services. I shall campaign to get more frequent, local and specialised National Health clinics in North Cornwall.

I fully agree that as many services as possible should be provided locally. When elected I shall join my colleagues who want to expand the scope and responsibilities of the GP and community hospital services. I am determined that our excellent doctors, nurses, midwives, GPs and all other staff are given the support they need.

Furlough extended until the end of September. The furlough scheme has supported 11.2 million jobs across the UK, worth £53 billion. But to provide further certainty, we are today extending the scheme until the end of September.
