The Horton General Hospital is a National Health Service hospital[1] located on the Oxford Road, in the Calthorpe ward of Banbury.[2] It is managed by Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.[3]
History
The hospital was founded as a result of a gift from Mary-Ann Horton, a local heiress.[4] It was designed by the architect Charles Henry Driver and built by Franklin and Sons of Deddington.[4] Construction work had started on 19 July 1869[5] and it opened in 1872.[4] A children's ward was added in 1897[6]
It joined the National Health Service in 1948.[4]
The Italianate Elms House on Oxford Road, a substantial villa built in 1863 for Jonathan Gillet, one of the senior partners of Gillet’s Bank, became the local psychiatric unit in 1961.[7]
1926 was a momentus year with both the first resident house surgeon being appointed and the hospital being approved as a training school for nurses that year.[8]
In the second half of the 1930s saw plans to build extensive new buildings and new building did take place in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.[9]
The first consultant started work there in 1945.[10]
Juniper Ward and Laburnum Ward opened in the 1990s.
The hospital became a National Health Service Trust in April 1993[11].
The pathlab closed in 2004.
In 2005, there were rumours that the hospital might have to close. This led Banbury's MP, Tony Baldry, plus a large proportion of the town's population, to start a campaign to keep the hospital open.[12] The rumours proved to be unfounded, since the plans had already been abandoned by both the NHS Trust and the Health Minister.[13]
In 2006, the Horton attracted publicity because Benjamin Geen, a nurse employed there, was convicted of two murders and fifteen counts of grievous bodily harm in April of that year. During December 2003 and January 2004 he had allegedly poisoned patients because he got a thrill out of trying to resuscitate them.[14][15]
Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group approved controversial plans to permanently downgrade the hospital’s maternity service to a midwife-led only unit in August 2017, but the Independent Reconfiguration panel recommended in March 2018 that “further action was required locally before a final decision is made about the future of maternity services in Oxfordshire”.[16]
