A message from South West Yorkshire Partnership Foundation Trust

Thank you to everyone who gave their views during the consultation which closed in March 2024 and heard from more than 1,500 people. Following a robust process, a decision has been reached to have a dedicated inpatient dementia service at Ward 19, Dewsbury and District Hospital, with inpatient wards for other mental health needs in Calderdale and Wakefield.
