1 The PFI scheme is being developed jointly by the Central Manchester NHS Trust and the Manchester Children's NHS Trust. The figure given for bed numbers therefore refers to the total number of beds provided by the two trusts.
2 Review of organisation of children's services across Greater Manchester, which is still in progress, will influence the final figures for bed numbers.
3 The reduction in beds will see the balance of patients will be resettled into more appropriate community settings elsewhere within the county.
4 This figure includes 48 beds provided to take the Accident and Emergency work transferred to King's following the closure of Guy's A&E department.
NB Estimates for future bed numbers are still provisional at this stage in several cases and may change.
