We are aware of recent speculation regarding the future use of one of our NHS buildings, Bloxwich Hospital in Walsall. We would like to clarify the current position and reassure our community.
The building is still owned by the Trust and is currently being prepared for sale through a careful decommissioning process.
This sale is part of the agreement that allowed us to secure funding for the new Older Peoples’ Inpatient Unit at Dorothy Pattison Hospital. As part of the process, we followed national rules and listed the property on the government’s national system for eight weeks, giving other public sector organisations the chance to express interest. No bids were received during that time.
We are committed to ensuring that any future use of the site aligns with the needs of our community.
We will continue to keep you informed as the process progresses.
