Abstract

Reports on the death of the district general hospital (DGH) are premature. Despite frequent predictions of doom these hospitals are in good shape and over the years have shown a continuing readiness to adapt to changes in medical practice, technological advances and political fashion. The development of community services is not a threat to the DGH, but rather an opportunity to evaluate carefully what the DGH does best.
