Gardeners welcome youngest-ever speaker by Natalie Cox THE youngest speaker ever to address
Ciitheroe Garden Club was John Foley. He gave an enlightening talk titled “Crocosmia
Through The Ages”. It only took minutes for the audience to realise
they were listening to a real e.xpert in the field and John’s talk proved an eye opener to gardeners who have come to regard the montbretia (crocos mia) as almost a cultivated weed. The brilliant photographs well illustrated the variety and splendour of this large genus of flow
ers. John talked about their history and about
growing, feeding and propagating them. He was actively engaged in breeding new varieties. Before the speaker was introduced, the club
chairman had welcomed the 30 or so menmers to the new venue, Ribblesdale Wanderers Cricket
Club. Mr Bill Gregson apologised that the secretapr

DO you ever feel that you are just treading water? Do these long dark winter nights give you th a t sinking feeling? Has your social life taken a dive? Then why not take up a challenging and
exciting new hobby that could literally open up a whole new world to you. That is the invitation from the thriving
Kibble Valley Sub Aqua Club, whose mem bers say “Come on in, the water’s lovely!” Formed 25 years ago, this well-run club is
a branch of the British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC) and its members range from begin ners to very experienced divers and quali fied instructors. Over the coming months we hope to bring you a series of articles about the club and its varied activities. Club chairman and Ciitheroe barber
Gary Arthur, pictured, said: “ We are a friendly and informal club, with the social aspect playing an important part alongside the diving. The group is blessed with a team of dedicated instructors and a wealth of experienced divers to assist in any trainee’s
needs.” The club meets socially every Thursday

inflatable boat) and dive throughout the year, travelling the length and breadth of the country and occasionally abroad on dive trips, which are always a hoot! “Whatever our members’ preference - be

order seeds with a 50% discount from a leading seed company before the order was sent in. Tickets were on sale for the club’s annual social

the event to go ahead, but a few more would enable the event to break even. The club sales huts, now closed for the
winter season, reopen again on February 19th. In the meantime stocktaking, re stocking and maintenance will go ahead. Members were reminded that the speaker

Ciitheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, November 10th, 2005 11
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 service 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 locai 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.

M o d e iT i i s in g y b u r i lQ c a lM t ^ ^
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 or 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 oh 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 services 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 services and providing primary and community
services for local residents.
Actively seeking the views of iocal people If your group or organisation would like a presentation on the East Lancs Clinical Services Review please contart us (see below). Please also let us know if you would like to take part in patient and public involvement events on November 2 and 4.
Play your part - get involved.... NOW! You can help to shape the future of health services in East Lancashire now by telling us what you think of the four broad options by:
