OUHT AND KTHG COMBINED QUESTIONNAIRE

Have your say on plans for The Horton

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH) is consulting on the way services are provided at the Horton General Hospital in Banbury. They have circulated a questionnaire to selected people in Banburyshire.

Their plans could take away A&E, consultant-led maternity, Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU), 24 hour, 7 day a week children's ward and intensive care.

We would like to give everyone the chance to have their say. Please take a few minutes to fill in this survey so the voice of Banburyshire patients is heard loud and clear.

There are two sections to this survey - Section One is 'Plain English' version of the OUH questionnaire. Section Two is the 'Keep The Horton General' survey. Please answer both sections. It may help to read all of the questions first.
