ABI Hospital Beds       

FOI REFERENCE: 24195 FOI DATE: 27^th June 2024         

I am currently researching the availability of beds for acquired brain injuries (ABI) and other neurological conditions such as neuropsychiatry disorders in different settings across England. As such, I would like to request a breakdown of the different types of beds available for ABI patients (split by level from level 1 – level 4) as well as neuropsychiatry patients across the hospitals in your trust.

Could you please provide and specify the number of beds for each sub-category that are listed in the Excel attached from columns D-H, split by the following information:

Name of each hospital in your trust

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust

Worcester Royal Hospital

Alexandra Hospital – Redditch

Kidderminster Hospital & Treatment Centre

The Trust has no dedicated ABI beds patients are transferred to a specialist center. If we have to temporary care for these patients in ITU before transfer, then we will but we do not ring-fence beds in ITU for this.
