Bridlington Hospital "League of Friends"

Closing Bridlington hospital's Maternity Unit would be a kick in the teeth for the dedicated volunteers who have bought thousands of pounds worth of equipment.

The hard-working hospital League of Friends has spent more than £400,000 since the Bessingby Road site opened in the late 1980s.

But the league said the seemingly constant threat to services in Bridlington was affecting and harming its fund-raising efforts, and also morale.
The Leagues latest donation was an £8,000 Resuscitaire Machine, which can detect problems almost immediately after a baby is born, the machine was handed over in January 2003.

Also handed over was a brand new piece of life-saving equipment, a £6,000 Defibrillator & Cardiac Monitor.

What would Bridlington Hospital do without these dedicated people and members of the League of Friends, we commend you for your consistent hard work, thank you.

They work so hard while a cloud hangs over our hospital, we are now waiting for the Minor Injuries Unit to open 24 hours, also what the Scarborough Trust intend to do with the Maternity services, the last statement from the Trust was they would save £500,000 a year by cutting maternity services and taking them to Scarborough, if this happens expectant mothers could give birth in Ambulances, at the road-side or some other place? Not a rosy future for a new baby & mother.

The Scarborough Trust is hell bent on saving money so we can expect anything in the not too distant future, the future of Bridlington hospital looks glum, we will fight on and hope a miracle happens.
