A DECISION about the closure of Trowbridge Hospital’s birthing unit is expected to be made this week.
If the proposal gets the go-ahead, Trowbridge’s midwifery unit will only provide pre- and post-natal services, forcing expectant Melksham mothers to travel further afield to give birth.
The decision will be made at a joint governing body meeting of Bath and North East Somerset (BaNES), Swindon and Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Groups this Thursday 16th January from 10am.
In a change to the original venue, the meeting will now be held at the Roper Room at Dorothy House Hospice Care – Winsley, Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, BA15 2LE. The meeting is open to the public.
Papers for the meeting are available from the Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group website: www.wiltshireccg.nhs.uk
