FOI REFERENCE: 24211  FOI DATE: 8^th July 2024    

Will Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust be considering the replacement or purchase of any patient trolleys in the current financial year (April 2024 – March 2025), and if yes, for which hospitals/departments please? To clarify, I am referring to ED/resus/trauma trolleys, endoscopy trolleys, theatre/recovery trolleys, patient transfer trolleys, and short stay ward trolleys.

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust have purchased some trolleys (5) very recently for the Emergency Department that complement the existing facilities i.e. can go through scanners etc., there are no other trolleys on the work plan for this year Financial year, and none on the horizon for next year however plans may change depending on operational requirements.
