SURREY Downs Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has spoken to more than 1,000 people in four weeks as part of a public consultation on the future of community hospitals.
The CCG has outlined four options for the merger of services at Molesey, Cobham, New Epsom and Ewell, Leatherhead and Dorking community hospitals.
A public consultation on cost-savings measures and other service changes was launched on January 28, and has seen representatives from Surrey Downs CCG explain available options to residents in Leatherhead, Molesey, Epsom and Cobham.
Under all four proposed options Leatherhead would become a planned care centre, which the CCG said would mean a wider range of services.
The CCG has also distributed some more than 4,000 copies of its consultation document across the Surrey Downs area.
Surrey Downs CCG said under all four options there would still be the same number of inpatient rehabilitation beds across the Surrey Downs area.
The consultation is running for 14 weeks and ends on Thursday, May 5.
