THREE psychiatric hospitals in Liverpool are set to close.
All mental health day centres in the city will shut their doors by the end of this financial year, according to health chiefs.
Mossley Hill Day Hospital, for dementia sufferers, has been earmarked for closure, along with Park Lodge, in Newsham Park, Fairfield, and Waterloo Day Hospital.
All three are run by mental health trust Mersey Care.
Park Lodge looks after adults below the age of 65 with mental health problems, and Waterloo those above 65.
Staff contacted the Daily Post expressing concern for patients.
One worker said: “Day hospitals were set up to enable people to be cared for in the community, so to take them away is ridiculous.
“I am scared for these people’s safety, and think the move will put more pressure on acute hospitals in the long term.”
