Bakewell will lose all its facilities at Newholme hospital under the new ‘better care closer to home’ proposal made by the government. This includes rehabilitation for inpatients along with end of life care, mental health and dementia care.
Other services are also provided for the surrounding community, including physiotheropy, podiatry and other day care services. Losing this hospital with the valuable services that it provides would be a massive loss to the local people.
