Freedom of Information Request – Ref: FOI 332-2025
Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request. Please find our response below.
You asked:
1. It is my understanding that there is only one full-time Admiral Nurse covering both Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and Cheltenham General Hospital. Could you please confirm if this is correct?
Our response:
We do not hold the information requested, please contact Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
You asked:
2. Additionally, as Admiral Nurses are typically based in the community, I would like to request information on the number of full-time Admiral Nurses available in the following areas:
• Stow on the Wold
• Moreton in Marsh
• The Rissingtons
• Bourton on the Water
Our response:
The Trust does not provide admiral nurses.
You asked:
3. Furthermore, I would like to know the number of beds available in the aforementioned towns that offer dementia care services where patients can reside. This information is crucial to ensure that patients are not held on general wards in either Gloucestershire Royal Hospital or Cheltenham General Hospital, and to facilitate easier visits for relatives.
Our response:
The Trust does not hold the information requested.
You asked:
4. Could you also provide details on whether any of the care homes in these towns have arrangements with the NHS that allow for dementia patients to be treated within the care homes rather than in hospitals?
Our response:
The Trust does not hold the information requested.
You asked:
5. Additionally, what care packages are in place to support dementia patients living at home? Do any GPs in these towns offer home visits to dementia patients who are living at home?
Our response:
The Trust does not hold the information requested.
