Teignmouth and Dawlish will have much stronger health services that look after people for years to come – with community hospitals safeguarded in both towns.
Option 1 also states that Teignmouth will have 12 specialist rehabilitation beds to complement the hospital’s gym and physio suite, along with outpatient clinics, day surgery and a community hub for support and information.
In addition, Dawlish will be a base for the Devon Doctors out-of-hours urgent care service, and the area’s community team will have 12 extra staff working to help keep people safe and independent in their own homes.
