Part of this morning was spent with a group of patients at a doctor's surgery in Shard End. They shared my concern that there is a plan for a 20% cut in hospital beds in the Birmingham and Black Country area.
There is already a substantial constraint on operations controlled by the availability of beds. If the number of acute beds is further reduced this will add to problems.
