A MEDICAL ward at Great Western Hospital that caters for people with diabetes-related conditions is set to close.
Next month Teal Ward, which has 18 beds, will be emptied so it can be used to cope with extra demand at peak times and to enable other wards to be refurbished.
The trust has reassured staff that the move, which comes as part of the GWH?s five-year refurbishment programme, will not result in any redundancies and all 40 full and part-time staff will be relocated at the hospital.
