St Richard's Hospital is a medium-sized District General Hospital (DGH) located in Chichester, West Sussex, England. It has approximately 400 beds including 6 ITU beds and a High Dependency Unit. Recently, the Chichester Treatment Centre was opened, which seeks to speed up the treatment of patients on a day care basis.
The hospital has a staff of 2500 and an annual budget of £100 million, although it has recently been threatened with downsizing or closure as part of the NHS Strategic Health Authority's 'Fit For The Future' proposal.
