Save Bridlington Hospital

You may not be aware of what is going on at this moment in time?

The Yorkshire Wolds & Coast Primary Care Trust (PCT) run by; Chief Executive Adrian Smith & Dr Duncan Ross; the Trust's Director of Planning of Performance at the (PCT), have held a review, there findings have not been made public, they do say it could be April 2005? but, we have been informed that (4) hospitals are in line for either closure or cut backs in services; the PCT will not state which hospitals will be affected but the 4 have been selected as part of this review. The (4) hospitals under review are as follows:

Withernsea Hospital Queen St, Tel: (01964) 533146 - EAR-MARKED FOR REVIEW/CUTS IN SERVICES ETC?
Hornsea Cottage Eastgate Hornsea Tel: (01964) 533146 - EAR-MARKED FOR REVIEW/CUTS POSSIBLE CLOSURE ?
Alfred Bean Hospital Driffield, Tel: (01377) 241124 - EAR-MARKED FOR REVIEW/CUTS IN SERVICES ETC?
Bridlington's Macmillan Wolds Unit Tel: (01262) 423124 - EAR-MARKED FOR REVIEW/CUTS IN SERVICES ETC?

The PCT have clearly stated in interviews that they do not rule out closures or cut-backs in services; this is nothing more than a cost saving exercise implemented by the PCT and it's board of directors. These white collar workers should be brought to book, instead they are allowed to cause undue stress to the very people who pay there wages, reflected in there taxes. When are these PCT's going to toe the line, be honest, truthful, and make statements which people understand , all we seem to get and all we have had are:

we will make a statement later?
we will not be drawn into making comments now?
don't put words into my mouth?
we will not be pressured into making decisions yet?
I'm not prepared to make a statement yet?
the review is not completed yet, but, we have had the meeting?
of course we know what we are doing, we just don't tell you?
we read from a text book to give answers to awkward questions?
we apply spin to get you away from the truth!
let me get back to you with an answer later?

There are so many Spin sentences used by the PCT and others, I could fill this page!

The Bridlington Macmillan Wolds Unit plays a very big part in Bridlington; helping patients who suffer from this terrible disease! CANCER The Bridlington Macmillan Wolds Unit is based in the grounds of Bridlington & District Hospital in Bessingby Road, and lays behind the main hospital; It has 15 beds and offers a variety of medical services, including palliative care, wound care clinic and eye assessments. The six-year-old Unit specialises in caring for people with terminal illnesses, especially Cancer. Last year it admitted 175 patients, all are cared for with compassion and dignity, highly trained and dedicated staff are on hand at all times, families are treated with the utmost compassion with full access to loved ones at all times, they are given the help they need, how can the PCT be so negative and uncaring at this distressing time.
