PLANS to close 50 mental health beds at the Royal Bolton Hospital could be threatened after talks between between health chiefs broke down.
Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in Bolton, Salford and Trafford were in discussions with Greater Manchester West Mental Health NHS Trust to move services into the community.
But now Trafford CCG has backed out because of strong opposition from local councillors.
If the trust?s proposals go ahead, patients will be looked after in their homes ? with a 24/7 on-call service and three visits a day by clinicians ? or they will be taken to Woodlands Hospital in Little Hulton.
