New plans have been revealed to revamp Thornbury Health Centre. A redeveloped Thornbury Hospital site would provide greater primary care and outpatient services, enhanced mental health support, an integrated facility housing Thornbury GP practices, social care and NHS beds and a ‘frailty hub’ focussing on the elderly receiving care in their own homes. It is hoped the new facility will relieve pressure on Southmead Hospital by allowing residents in Thornbury, Yate and surrounding towns and villages to access the care they need closer to home. A meeting was held on Wednesday with Thornbury and Yate MP Luke Hall, Minister of State for Health Ed Argar, and representatives from South Gloucestershire Council, North Bristol NHS Trust, Bristol North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (BNSSGCCG), Sirona Care and Health, NHS England and Improvement (NHSEI) all in attendance.
