Welcome to the Community Hospitals Association
An Independent Voluntary Organisation
Our response to the NHS 10 Year Plan for England
As the voice of community hospitals and community hubs, our members welcome the plan and the opportunity it presents.
Community Hospitals and Community Hubs provide local, valued community-based services and facilities, and play a vital role in local NHS systems. They are well-placed to further develop as Neighbourhood Services and serve a key role in the Government's 10 Year Plan.
The CHA supports 500 community hospitals and hubs in remote, rural and coastal areas across the UK, including 346 in England. Our members can provide case study examples of where these existing services already help in moving hospital to community, moving sickness to prevention and moving analogue to digital.
The CHA will continue to work with members to demonstrate how community hospitals and hubs operate as centres for local health and wellbeing, and with investment have the potential to contribute significantly to the Government's ambition to improve the health of the nation.
