We’ve tried to put all of the information into this document that you will need in order to comment on our proposals. However there is a lot of data and wider information on these webpages if you want to find out more, including:
Our Pre-Consultation Business Case
This document is the formal business case that our local partners and NHS England, have reviewed to make sure that we have followed the proper processes before going out to consult the public. This includes further detail on all aspects of our case for change, the data we have based our proposals on, and how we reviewed of all the options we and our partners considered for the future of these beds.
Travel Impact Assessment
A Travel Impact Assessment is a study to understand how a new development or project will affect traffic and travel in the area, including how people can get to services
Equality Impact Assessment
An Equality Impact Assessment is a way to check if our proposals will affect different groups of people fairly. It helps us to make sure we aren’t accidentally discriminating against anyone and are promoting equality. It looks at how we meet the needs of everyone, including people with disabilities, older adults, or those in low-income area and suggests any adjustments that can be made to ensure fairness and inclusion.
