Reopening dates 'set for this month'
Western Gazette
|October 02, 2025
A FINAL decision on the “relaunch” of maternity services at Yeovil Hospital will be taken as early as October, Somerset health bosses have confirmed.
The Somerset NHS Foundation Trust temporarily closed the special care baby unit (SCBU) and inpatient maternity service at Yeovil Hospital on May 19, due to concerns about “the safety, quality and fragility of the paediatric service” on the site.
A three-month review into the closure was carried out in mid-August, with the trust indicating in mid-September that it was “making good progress” with recruiting additional staff and planned to reopen both services as soon as possible. The NHS Somerset integrated care board (ICB) has now confirmed that a further review will take place in October to “set some dates” for the reopening of these services.
