Is time running out for Trowbridge hospital?
This document offers three options; all of them involve the closure of Trowbridge Hospital and Trowbridge Health Clinic.

In return Trowbridge would get a Primary Care Centre, and, under two of the options, Melksham would gain a New Generation Community Hospital with either 20 or 50 inpatient beds.

There will be a public meeting at Trowbridge Civic Hall on Monday 15 May commencing at 6.30pm.

In the meantime more info can be found as follows

The 'consultation' period runs until 5.00pm on 7 July but one must be cynical about just how much notice the PCT will take.
