Mid Yorkshire Hospitals Trust proposals for Dewsbury, Pontefract and Pinderfields
Under the first option, some services would be centralised at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield and there would be changes to the way urgent, complex and planned surgery are carried out at all three sites.
The second options bring all emergency and complex services under one roof at Pinderfields, and lead to a reduced emergency service at Dewsbury and District Hospital.
