History

The hospital has its origins in the Kidderminster Union Workhouse Infirmary which was completed about 1884. [1] The hospital joined the National Health Service as Kidderminster Infirmary and Children's Hospital in 1948. [2] It became Kidderminster and District General Hospital in 1974 and Kidderminster General Hospital in 2000. [2]

Standing for Parliament as an Independent Kidderminster Hospital and Health Concern candidate at the 2001 general election, Richard Taylor campaigned largely on a single issue, that of restoring the accident & emergency department of Kidderminster Hospital, which had been closed the previous year. [3] A new treatment centre was opened by the Duchess of Gloucester on the site in April 2005. [4]
