Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust is an NHS trust which runs three hospitals in Worcestershire, England: The Alexandra Hospital, Redditch, Kidderminster Hospital and Treatment Centre in Kidderminster, Evesham hospital Burlingham ward in Evesham and the Worcestershire Royal Hospital in Worcester. Services in Kidderminster and Redditch have been under threat for many years. Proposals to downgrade Kidderminster hospital provoked the establishment of Independent Community and Health Concern. Their candidate Dr Richard Taylor defeated David Lock the sitting Labour MP in the 2001 General Election. The building of the new Treatment Centre, in Kidderminster was handled by
