The restructuring of the NHS has led to numerous reorganisations including hospital closures. We have been involved in advising throughout the process from inception to completion, including assisting in the planning and considering the legal and other issues that arise.
Whilst NHS, employment and premises issues will be high on the list of priorities, it is also important not to overlook the human rights of the patients and the potential for judicial review. This is an area with which we have assisted clients, successfully defending judicial reviews and advising on protocols and procedures to avoid challenge.
