NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board public consultation into the future locations of 35 community rehabilitation beds in South Warwickshire

NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) have launched a public consultation into the future
locations of 35 community rehabilitation beds in South Warwickshire following approval from the ICB Board.

The public consultation will run from, Monday 6th January 2025, to Friday 14th February 2025 and people are
being asked to give their views on two potential options for the locations of the community rehabilitation beds.

The two options being consulted on are:
• Option A – Three sites: Distribute all 35 beds across three sites: Ellen Badger Hospital, Leamington Spa
Hospital, and Stratford Hospital. This would reduce the number of beds currently at Stratford Hospital and
Leamington Spa Hospital and return up to 12 beds to the Ellen Badger site
• Option B – Two sites: Provide all 35 beds at two sites, Leamington Spa Hospital and Stratford Hospital.

The wards would remain the same current size at Leamington Spa Hospital and Stratford Hospital and
there would no longer be any beds at the Ellen Badger site.

People are to participate in the consultation via a survey, by attending a consultation event, or by making a
written submission, with more information on each available on the ICB website.

The remaining in-person event will take the form of a drop in exhibition which details the plans and the
background to the potential changes. There will also be the opportunity to talk one on one with clinicians and
other staff members who will be part of delivering the changes. There will not be specific presentation, so people
are welcome to arrive at any point during the allotted time period.

Details of the one remaining in-person event:

24th January 2025 – 9.30am – 11.00am at Lammas Room, Hill Close Gardens Trust, Bread and Meat Close, Warwick, CV34 6HF

The ICB have created a dedicated section on their website with all the information regarding the public
consultation, including the consultation document, details on how to participate in the consultation, and a list of
frequently asked questions. This can be found at www.happyhealthylives.uk/consultation.
