Our local hospital trust operated four local hospitals. It has since sold the land one was on and used the proceeds to fund the closure of another (they built a new one on the site).

Anyway, a few years ago, they realised that using casualty to treat minor injuries is actually very expensive, so they offered to refit the smallest hospital in the borough as a minor injuries unit that the local gps could use to treat minor injuries instead of casualty. Local gps where not interested.
