Off diary: Psychiatric hospital closes its doors - The Guardian 16th April 2008

Despite an ongoing consultation on its future, the Henderson hospital in Surrey, a specialist psychiatric unit for people with personality disorders, is to close. South West London and St George's mental health NHS trust announced last Friday that it was launching a formal one-month consultation over the redeployment of staff at the hospital in Sutton - the only one in England to provide "community therapy" for this client group. A spokesperson for the trust says the decision over the "temporary" closure was based on a joint decision by the five remaining residents and the staff that it was no longer "clinically viable" to keep the hospital open.
