Mr Richard Gildert said: “A clear focus on children and child protec­ tion is an important Trust board responsibility and CHI will be monitoring closely our progress.” He added that a study day on

tive of the new trust, said that this is an “unprecedented oppor­ tunity” and, if successful, would help to cut junior doctors’ hours. “I have never known such an allocation in my time with the


announcement by the Cumbria and Lancashire Workforce Development Confederation that 144 posts had been allocat­ ed to the two counties. Mr John Thomas, chief execu­


also cut junior doctors' hours NHS. There 144 posts and there are eight district general hospi­ tals in our area, of which we have two.


“We expect to receive between

registrars get to know the area and recruitment could improve as a result of that.”


Valley’s International Piano Week is on course for another success


THIS year’s Ribble Valley Interna­ tional Piano Week at Stonyhurst College is set to provide another fes­ tival of fine music. Throughout the week there will be


concerts and recitals from six of the most talented and well-known pianists in the world. Each musician will perform a


selection of pieces from some of the great composers, such as Beethoven and Mozart, as well as some lesser known, but equally entertaining, arrangements by Liszt and Brahms.


This year the widely-acclaimed


third prize winner a t the Tchaikowsky Competition in Moscow, Jin Ju, will perform as a finale to the week of events. Performances will be held in the


Centenaries Theatre, St Mary’s Hall. Lunch is available after the midday concerts and a buffet supper after the final concert. For further details and booking,


contact the Centenaries Theatre at St Mary’s Hall, Stonyhurst, on 01254826063.
