Future of The Horton General Hospital Questionnaire

Have your say on plans for The Horton

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH) is consulting on the way services are provided at the Horton General Hospital in Banbury. They have circulated a questionnaire to selected people in Banburyshire.

Their plans could take away A&E, consultant-led maternity, Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU), 24 hour, 7 day a week children's ward and intensive care.

We would like to give everyone the chance to have their say. Please take a few minutes to fill in this survey so the voice of Banburyshire patients is heard loud and clear.

There are three sections to this survey - Section One is about you: age, gender, postcode and employment status. Section Two is the 'Keep The Horton General' survey. Section Three is a 'Plain English' version of the OUHFT questionnaire. We didn't design this bit but we do need you to complete it as best you can. If you find it impossible to rate any of the options, you may like to leave an appropriate comment in the box on the question.
Please answer all three sections. It may help to read all of the questions first.

KEEP THE HORTON GENERAL QUESTIONS
This is your chance to support or oppose future plans for The Horton General Hospital
Please complete this section.

Question Title

* 5. Two of the three OUH plans for The Horton Maternity intend to replace Consultant/Senior Doctor care with Midwife-only care offering 'Home Births in Hospital.' This means there will be no one able to perform a caesarian section, use forceps or administer an epidural anaesthetic. This will result in any complicated birth being transferred to Oxford by ambulance. Any downgrading of maternity would also mean the loss of Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU). Do you support or oppose this proposal ?
