There is still chance for the public to share their views on Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust’s latest proposals, aimed at modernising older adult mental health care - with a focus on community-based support.
Over the past nine years, older adult mental health services in the area have been evolving to meet the needs of local communities. This next phase will be shaped by the views of local people. As part of this, two new state-of-the-art, multi-million-pound older adult units have been developed. The first at Dorothy Pattison Hospital in Walsall which opened in February, followed by Edward Street Hospital in Sandwell, which is due to open to patients in October.
A range of options are being considered. These include providing a Hospital at Home service along with inpatient care being delivered solely at new hospitals in Walsall and Sandwell, meaning the eventual closure of Meadow, Malvern and Holyrood wards at Penn and Bushey Fields Hospitals.
Local people are invited to give their feedback before 31 October 2025.
