Because of staffing challenges that Byron Ward on the Hollins Park Site has experienced, the service has made a decision to ensure patient and staff safety is maintained by closing Byron Ward. This closure is a short-term measure. When staffing improves, Byron ward will reopen and continue the care of our patients on the ward, at the Hollins Park Site and continue the planning to move to Linden ward.

As the ward is closed an incident response will not come from the ward and switchboard will direct any calls to Hodder ward, at Maghull Health Park.

Thank you.
