In November 2013 it was revealed that the psychiatric unit at Welwyn Garden City’s QE2 Hospital has lost 10 beds since April, despite being stretched to capacity, and 36 beds had been closed since April 2013. The Trust said "A new £42 million state-of-the-art 86-bed inpatient unit will open early next year at Harperbury near Radlett to replace our old wards on the general acute hospital sites". [4]

The trust uses HealthRoster software, installed in October 2007, to manage staffing of 160 different areas of nursing. The manager says it is much more efficient than their previous paper-based system, especially as it could keep a record of requests. [5]
