Edward Hain Community Hospital is owned by NHS Property Services. NHS Property Services lease the hospital to Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CFT). CFT provide the hospital services. There are several outpatient clinics at the hospital each week. A minor injury unit is available at the Stennack Surgery in St Ives.
The hospital’s beds were temporarily closed to new admissions in February 2016. This was due to fire safety concerns. The last patient left in August 2016. In the last year before the hospital beds closed 174 people were admitted to a bed. 111 (64%) of these people lived in Penwith. The beds were occupied on average 93% of the time.
Between January and September 2019 Age UK delivered a day service reablement trial in the hospital. This service tested if it could reduce winter pressures by providing community support to enable discharge. Age UK worked with all stakeholders. 27 people were supported during the 9-month pilot. A learning report was produced by Age UK. An evaluation report was produced by NHS Kernow. These reports provided information for Cornwall Council’s commissioning of day services.
