Massive house building is set to leave the proposed super-hospital in Southmead 250 beds short just a decade after it opens.

Health chiefs admitted to Northavon MP Steve Webb there would be a shortfall when the hospital opened in 2013 and suggested it would be made up by private sector provision in Emersons Green.

But the North Bristol NHS Trust also said it had previously made no projections for bed numbers beyond the hospital opening date.

Using figures provided by the trust, Mr Webb calculated a rising population was likely to mean around 250 extra beds would be needed to serve local people by 2026.

In response to his calculations, the trust said even more services would be moved into the community to cut bed demand.

It also told him there was provision in the Southmead contract for expansion of the hospital and car park if needed.
