“Good luck to all the patients we have cared for as a family at Ermin. It was a great place to work, and the team spirit and family atmosphere helped them cope with a chronic illness. Sharing the caring was our Logo, and I think we achieved that, whatever the management thought!! Good luck to all the staff too, and hope you enjoy your retirement or careers.”

“not the doctors or nurses or nhs fault its all politics people, some messed up politics where doing nothing about, are we waiting for our saviour cameron.”

“It cost £878000 per annum to keep Ermin House running for all patients there.

After a two year review, they have decided to close it at the end of this month.

They are prepared to pay £2.2 million per year to put 29 people into private care, split between Deans and Richmond Private care homes, that £20 million over 10 years for just 29 people at £1500 per week.

Additionally, there are 37 people also requiring alterantive care now that the facility at ermin house is to close.

There are 8 people who won't be looked after unless they pay for it themselves

We are talking here about people who have long term illnesses, MS, MND, who have drawn the short straw in life and who will eventually die from their condition.

The closure of Ermin House was a manipulation of the NHS review process to reach an already decided conclusion from the outset 2 years ago that the Trust want the land for other purposes.

This matter needs to be reopen and re-examined by an audit body.

Thay can refurbish Ermin House with the money they will spend on private hospital care and that's what they should do.”

“dear glos chick....have repeatedly asked ward manager where we will be working. she says she doesn't know it is apparently up to our modern matron. do i want to work for them, well sometimes i think not, so why do i its because i love my job caring for patients. they are and will remain my main priority, not discharge targets.”

“Dear Anon, (A) i think its sad that you do not feel brave enough to identify yourself, (B) you talk of lack of communication,perhaps you need to speak to your manager to find out where you are going,oops it may be that your manager doesn't even know where you are going. From reading your comments it would appear that you seem to think that there is some conspiracy going on. If this is the case, do you really want to work with conspirator's???????”

“Ah well it looks like Tents (Sorry Gazebos) and funky bean bags in Gloucester Park come this autumn. That is going to be for the executives. Patients and nurses it will be the finery of the green green grass.”

“Split CGH away from GRH, we used to be cash rich in CGH but when we joined with GRH we took on the biggest money problem ever. CGH will soon just be a cottage hospital because GRH have taken everything and will go on taking from all of the hospitals, it wont matter what Frank says beds will close they are already closed in Oncology just ask them when has happened in the last two weeks, it's already happened bed are closed”

“well beds will be shut as the plan to combine neurology and stroke go ahead. this means a ward currently with 28 beds will reduce to 16. the two other specialities dermatology and rheumatology will just be placed onto other medical wards. staff do not know where they are working after end march. watch this space as i think beds will still close slowly and eventually frank will get his way”

“what about Delancey Hospital, the beds have been closed, its a building owned by the trust, why has it not been sold to help pay off this huge debt, why is nobody asking what is happening???”

“thanks for keeping the staff uptodate...i work on one of the wards concerned and we have heard nothing....i have just finnished a shift at 21.15....so staff still left up in the air...frank still can't communicate”
