County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has proposed moving Ward seven, the frailty unit, from Bishop Auckland to Darlington Memorial Hospital. Under the plan, ward staff would move to roles in Darlington, although the trust insists there will be no job losses. The trust aims to have the frailty service operating at Darlington Memorial Hospital by Christmas and will evaluate the expanded service in spring.
