Have your say about the future of your health services


Healthcare is changing fast. Meeting the needs of patients in the 21st century means the NHS in East Lancashire has to look carefully at the way in which it provides local health services.


A major review is currently underway of services delivered in hospitals, out in the community (in patients' own homes, clinics and health centres) and in primary care (provided by GPs, dentists, pharmacists and opticians). You will be hearing much more about the East Lana Clinical Services Review in the coming weeks and months.


In a nutshell the Review is about your local NHS working closely with health seryice staff and a wide range of partners in mental health, social care and voluntary and statutory organisations. Our aim is to make sure that we develop high quality, 'joined up' health and social care, which is:


• focused on the needs of patients, not organisations • flexible, fast, practical and sustainable • less reliant on emergency and unplanned care


• helps people to remain healthy as well as treating them when they become ill.


No decisions have been made


It is vital that local people have every opportunity to influence the future of their local health services. That is why no decisions have yet been made.


Listening and responding


We are at an early stage in the Review during which we are talking and listening to everyone from doctors and nurses to patients, service users, carers and the general public. All their views are being recorded and will influence discussions about the future of health sen/ices in East Lancashire.


Have your say


We also want to hear your views, suggestions and concerns about your local health service and there are a number of ways you can make them known to us.


Public consultation


We need to have everyone's thoughts and views by Friday, December 2. We will consider them carefully before drawing up a list of options for changes to local health services. These options will be the subject of a 12-week period of formal public consultation between January and April, 2006, during which everyone will be able to have their say.


A summary public consultation document will be delivered to your door in January. It will explain the issues and outline a series of detailed options for change. The document will tell you how you can make your views known on the options and about public meetings to be held in your area, which will also be advertised in the local press.


A final decision on the way forward will be made in April 2006 by all the partners in the East Lana Clinical Services Review.


Redesigning local health services - tell us what you think


There are no firm proposals or options for change to local health services at this stage. The four broad options outlined below are for discussion by anyone with an interest in health services in East Lancashire.


Option one


This option would involve the least possible change. It would mean trying to achieve more suitable services within the current design of services and the resources available..


Option two


Under this option a new, all purpose building would be built on one site between Blackburn and Burnley. It would cater for all the health needs of the population of East Lancashire.

Option three Option three would mean having two main sites. One site would be largely devoted to unscheduled (emergency) care and would have full Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and High Dependency Unit (HDU) facilities. It would also carry out some planned care for patients requiring major treatment. The other site would be largely dedicated to planned care and would have some HDU facilities for complications following surgery. Both sites would take appropriate outpatients and daycase patients.


Option four Option four would also involve two sites. As with Option three, one site would be largely dedicated to unscheduled care and would have full ICU and HDU facilities. It would also carry out some planned care for patients requiring major treatment. The other site would be largely used for planned care. However, it would not have any HDU facilities. This option would also involve both sites taking appropriate outpatients and daycase patients.


What do those terms mean? Daycase Treatment which can be performed in a single day, without the need to admit the patient for an overnight stay in hospital. Community


This term refers to care provided outside hospital in a health centre, clinic, GP surgery or other healthcare building of unit. High Dependency Unit (HDU)


HDUs are for patients who do not need a bed in an intensive care unit (ICU), but still need a level of intensive care or extra monitoring that is not available on the wards. Intensive Care Unit (ICU)


Staffed by specialist nurses around the clock, ICUs care for people who require mechanical help ('life support machines') with their breathing. Patients usually spend some time in HDU after a period in ICU before being admitted to a ward. Outpatient care


This is provided by a hospital department on an appointment basis without the need to be admitted to or to stay in hospital. An outpatient appointment may be used to assess further treatment or to follow up a patient after they have had a period of specialist treatment or an operation. Outpatient services can also be provided in GP surgeries or other community settings. Planned care


This refers to operations which are planned ahead and for which the patient is given a date to be admitted to the hospital such as hernias, cataracts and removal of tonsils. Primary Care


The collective term for all health sen/ices which are the first point of contact for the patient, for example, the GP. Primary Care Trust (PCT)


A locally managed, NHS body responsible for improving health, buying all health sen/ices and providing primary and community services for local residents.


Actively seeking the views of local people

PC Cliff Woodcock on 01200 458726. Independent charity


AN article on page 22 of last week’s Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, headed “A- Z booklet to help Ribble Valley carers”, told of an open day at the Carers Link office in Whalley Road, Clitheroe. In the article we stated incorrectly that


Carers Link is run by Lancashire County Council. Although it receives some funding from the county council, it is, in fact, an independent registered charity.


Remand in custody


A CLITHEROE teenager has been remanded in custody on two charges of assault and one of criminal damage. Rachel Linford (18), of Siddows Avenue,


was remanded by Blackburn magistrates charged with assaulting Andrew Chatbum and Edward Chatburn and damaging a fence panel belonging to Andrew Chatburn.


Vandals target car


A STONE was thrown to smash the near­ side window of a Toyota MR2 GT. Vandals struck the K-registered car while


it was parked in Kirkmoor Road, Clitheroe, during the beginning of last week. The total damage caused has been esti­


mated at £50. Lottery su cc es s


THERE was a £250 surprise for Clitheroe resident Mrs M. Dowden in the weekly East Lancashire Hospice lottery draw. Winners were: £1,000 - Mrs E Taylor,
