Hospitals. Close call.
Health authorities and trusts need to listen hard to positive offers of help from the community to maintain services such as cottage hospitals. The determination of the local action group should be assessed early on, with a view to potential collaboration. The HA can take control by establishing a joint working group and funding an external consultant. The process can help restore community support for local health services.
