Question from Councillor Nick Brown . Harrogate Borough Council

Please can Councillor Brown type his question into the chat box please

Before the pandemic it was obvious to me even as a newcomer to the area, Bridlington Hospital was very much underused. What I am most concerned about is what cuts to local services , including closures of wards and even whole hospitals, are in the pipeline for North Yorkshire. Would you please tell me what cuts are planned or are in the process of already, and what consultation and engagement with the public has taken place regarding these measures?

I submitted a question that hasnt been included?

Linda Wild see the above comment

Apologies Linda was it 'Do you know of any plans for the CCG to take over Adult Social Care?'

Hi Linda I will ask it on your behalf next

NHS England guidelines

Why are GPs still prescribing so many over the counter medicines ? are GPs really giving way to patient pressure?

Going back to financial results, the first former CCg delivered 96% of financial savings; Harrogat etc achieved 80% but Scarborough & Ryedale only achieved 45%- but still had apparently achieved their financial plan. Could you explain?

Currenty we are undertaking a care home survey of the useage of tablet devices but can confirm that level of activity is consistent

Is there a backlog of essential outpatients appts for patients with serious symptoms - Linda Wild

Thank you - Linda Wild
