Is there enough capacity at Darlington Memorial and University Hospital for acute patients from Bishop Auckland?
A. There would be enough capacity – as long as the proposed move of planned services to Bishop Auckland goes ahead. Although it is sometimes necessary to transfer patients between sites because of temporary shortfalls in capacity, the Trust has always been able to manage patients across all of its sites.
