Paulton Memorial Hospital is a community hospital located in the village of Paulton, Somerset, approximately 12 miles (19 km) from Bath, managed by HCRG Care Group.
The original hospital was founded by Dr Alexander Waugh and Mrs John George Mogg,[1] and was opened by Lord Arthur Hervey, Bishop of Bath and Wells, in October 1872.[2] Extensively upgraded facilities were opened in January 1997.[3] In 2003, plans to close the hospital, as well as a petition to keep it open, were debated in Parliament.[4]
