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
Economics of English towns and trade in the Middle Ages in the 12th century by Jewish immigrants fleeing the fighting around Rouen. The Jewish community spread beyond London to eleven major English cities, primarily the major trading hubs in the east of England with functioning mints, all with suitable castles for protection of the often persecuted Jewish minority. By the time of the Anarchy and the reign of Stephen, the communities were flourishing and providing financial loans to the king. Under Henry II, the Jewish financial community continued to grow richer still. All major towns had Jewish centres and even smaller towns, such as Windsor, saw visits travelling Jewish merchants.
