Freedom of Information request Current use of Moreton Clinic Space (18/09/2025)

Clinical Activity Data

FOI Request

I keen to understand how much use the Acute Trust specialists are able to make of the Outpatient clinic facilities in Gloucestershire's Community Hospitals. I am particularly interested in to know what Acute Trust services are provided at Moreton Community Hospital, although the question is also relevant to all of Gloucestershire's Community Hospitals. I believe that prior to the Pandemic good use of Moreton's clinic space by Acute Trust Consultants etc was made, but that now clinics are few and far between - physio, orthoptists, hearing aid support. Your website suggests that clinics are held in response to demand. What constitutes "demand"? Given the Secretary of State's wish to move more specialist provision into the community, it would be helpful to know to what extent that already happens in our Community Hospitals, and what are the issues that prevent greater use. I guess that cost is a major block to greater use - but who bears what cost (GHC? GHT? ICB?) As background, I am a retired GP and am currently a Public Governor at Gloucestershire Hospitals Trust. This issue has recently been raised with me by PPG members from North Cotswolds GP Practices. Residents in that area have long journey times to and from GRH or CGH, and are increasingly frustrated that OP clinics appear not to be held in the excellent facility at Moreton and elsewhere. I have family living in North Cotswolds too and understand their frustrations. Would it be possible to provide me with a timetable of current use of Moreton clinic space, or would that need to go through FOI channels?
