Harriett Baldwin will visit Newtown Road hospital next Monday 14th July as a guest of the Worcestershire NHS Mental Health Partnership Trust.
Harriett Baldwin said, "In light of the closure of the "step up/step down" facility at Sheffield House in Malvern I have asked to visit the Newtown Road hospital in Worcester. This will now be a residential option for service users whose mental health means that they cannot be treated at home and require a stay in a hospital. I have not heard very favourable reports from service users in Malvern about the facility, so I am keen to see it for myself. I know that the Trust has just invested £2million in a new psychiatric intensive care unit, and I will see this facility, the other wards (Abberley and Clifton) and the section 136 suite."
