Bolsover Hospital was a community healthcare facility in Bolsover, Derbyshire. It was managed by Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust.
History
[edit]Bolsover Hospital was built as a small single-storey building and completed in 1988.[1] Despite efforts by local member of parliament Dennis Skinner to challenge Prime Minister David Cameron in the House of Commons to prevent closure[2][3] and a strong campaign against closure organised by local people,[4][5] it was confirmed in July 2017 that the hospital would close.[6] After services had been transferred to the Castle Street Medical Centre in Bolsover in early 2019,[7] Bolsover Hospital closed[8] and the site was handed over to Homes England to facilitate residential development.[8]
