Amicus the Union had a high level meeting with Alison Guy, Chief Executive
Scarborough North East Yorkshire Healthcare NHS Trust on Thursday 19th
June 2003 about their concerns about the future of Bridlington & District
Hospital.
Geoff Whitlow, Amicus National Officer said, "The meeting was set
up to discuss our members concerns about the future of Bridlington &
District Hospital and to seek assurances that the Hospital was to develop
and improve its services to the public".
We received assurances from the Chief Executive that the Trust will fully
consult us on any changes and said the Trust also wished to expand and
improve the services.
Mr Whitlow said that Amicus would assist the Trust in Lobbying the Government
for the necessary funding to achieve these aims. Mr Whitlow concluded
"Amicus will work with the Trust on matters, which concern our members
these are service improvement, job security and providing continued and
improve healthcare for the people of Bridlington".
Alison Guy said that the meeting was very constructive and useful. We
welcome the support from Amicus and fully recognise the need to work more
closely with them and their members to achieve improved services for the
people of Bridlington.
