CCG/ICB and Orchard Cottage
In 2018 the then N Derbyshire CCG started to look at the future of Orchard Cottage and similar facilities in Derbyshire.
The 4 separate Clinical Commissioning Groups in Derbyshire merged on 1st April 2019 and the pandemic intervened.
In 2022 the CCG became NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board (ICB), also using the "Joined Up Care" naming.
In 2024 the ICB has again decided to look at the future of the Learning Disabilities Short Breaks service which of course includes Orchard Cottage in Darley Dale.

Whitworth Beds
A few years ago the local CCG proposed closure of all in-patient beds at the Whitworth Hospital. However, this was not to be and at a CCG Board Meeting in 2018 they finally agreed to amend their plan to:
12 beds - Whitworth Hospital (Oker Ward) 😃
12 beds - Clay Cross
08 beds - Buxton (as originally planned)
In 2024 Oker Ward at the Whitworth continues to offer top quality in-patient care for up to 15 patients.
