 A lot of planned orthopaedic surgery will be moved from Worcestershire Royal to Redditch and some day case and short stay surgery moved to Kidderminster Hospital.Healthwatch Worcestershire, an organisation set up under the Health and Social Care Act 2012 to act as a voice for patients, carried out a survey of the use of the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch.They found that 31,613 people had attended the hospital's A&E department between April and December 2014- up 4.3% on the previous 12 months - with nearly a fifth of those coming from areas outside of Worcestershire including South Birmingham who were using the service as an alternative to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.
