We have made the very difficult decision to temporarily close our Special Care Baby Unit at Yeovil Hospital from 5pm on Monday 19 May 2025, which means we are also unable to safely provide care during labour and birth at the Yeovil Maternity Unit for an initial period of six months. In October, the trust plans to share a timeline and a date for reopening, subject to meeting agreed safety criteria. Please speak to your midwife or read further information – Important maternity and SCBU temporary service change updates
