    Health executives are proposing a consultation on bed closures in the majority of hospitals across Oxfordshire. 

    Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust - which runs Oxford's Churchill and John Radcliffe hospitals, the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury - will run a £119m deficit by 2020 if "efficiency savings" are not made. 

    Executives are advising that £7.9m of investments in GP services will contribute to reducing the number of people attend hospital. 

    John Radcliffe Hospital

    It is not yet known where the bed closures will take place, although the Horton General Hospital has been earmarked for a "transformation" in the care it provides.
