1990 the Horizon NHS Trust took over management of the Hospital, which had 850 beds. In 1992 its annexe, the Abbots Langley Hospital, closed and the patients transferred back to Leavesden Hospital. By this time, although the age range of the patients were covered both ends of the spectrum, about one-third were over 60 years of age. Some had been resident at the Hospital for over 50 years. By 1993 the Hospital had 555 beds and , by 1994, 382 beds. The patients were gradually resettled in the community and the Leavesden Hospital closed in 1995 with 189 beds. The Eric Shepherd Unit remains, as does the Springfield School, providing education for adults with learning difficulties. | 1990 the Horizon NHS Trust took over management of the Hospital, which had 850 beds.
