The Banbury Guardian has issued a correction to a story published on its online print and edition dated 17 January 2017.

The front page story headlined 'Stop this now' stated: The first stage of the process started on Monday and its public consultation on removal of 26 adult acute hospital beds, ten trauma beds and loss of consultant led maternity.

The second stage will center on A&E, 24 hour consultant-led children's ward, stroke care and the critical care unit

The Phase 1 consultation is on:

  • changing the way we use our hospital beds and increasing care closer to home in Oxfordshire
  • planned care at the Horton General in Banbury (planned care includes tests and treatment planned in advance and not urgent or emergency care)
  • acute stroke services in Oxfordshire
  • critical care at the Horton General (critical care helps people with life-threatening or very serious injuries or illnesses)
  •  maternity services include obstetrics, Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) and emergency gynaecology surgery in North Oxfordshire.
