A and E boost as targets are met


by Duncan Smith f -.■( ' X '/


HOSPITAL Accident and Emergency units treating Ribble Valley patients will get a cash boost after consistently hitting their waiting time targets. The departments at Blackburn Koyal


Infirmary and Burnley General Hospital have both treated 97% of their patients within four hours or less. Now the East Lancashire Hospitals Trust, which runs the hospitals, will be rewarded with £100,000 extra capital to further develop services. This is the fourth stage of a financial

J ^ New bus a life-saver for many folk


THE wheels on the new minibus are going round and round for members of the local MS society branch. Just before Christmas members of


the Clitheroe and Kibble Valley MS Society took delivery of their third specially-adapted vehicle. The firs t minibus was bought


through anonymous donations and was updated five years ago. Since then enough cash has been


saved and raised to buy a replace­ ment vehicle from a specialist com­ pany in Wigan to aid members living in and around the Kibble Valley. Money from collections, the


branch’s annual flag day, private donations and cash given by organi­ sations all helped towards the total. The bus is used to take members of


the MS society on theatre trips and meals out, and to transport people to the Contact Club which meets on a Tuesday a t Henthorn Community Centre. A pool of volunteer drivers, some


of them members of Clitheroe and Kibblesdale Kotary Clubs, work on a ro ta to ensure a driver is always available. Mr John Bailey, branch chairman, said: “One of the main things our


members enjoy is having a ride out, a day out or another trip. “There are one or two members


who, without the bus, would not get out of their houses. This bus does provide a valuable service.” He added: “Purchasing the new


bus has been achieved by the gen­ erosity of the people of Clitheroe and the Kibble Valley, the tremendous involvement of the Kotary Clubs of Clitheroe and Kibblesdale and all the hard work of fund-raising volunteers. “The MS society is very grateful


to everyone who has been involved.” (s)


incentive scheme where every hospital trust in England delivering faster care for patients in accident and emergency is able to access up to £500,000 in stages until March 2005. Government Health Minister Kosie


Winterton said: "I would like to congratu­ late all the NHS staff a t the East Lan­ cashire Hospitals NHS Trust for seeing and treating 97% of people in accident


KUKAL communities looking to develop their own Information and Communica­ tion Technology (ICT) projects could benefit from a free “How-To” event in Chipping next month. Taking place a t Chipping Village Hall


on Friday, March 18th, the event is being run by the Lancaster-based ICT Kural Matrix Project. I t aims to provide a straightforward


and emergency within four hours, often far less. I'm delighted to reward this hard work and improved performance with £100,000 capital to further improve ser­ vices and facilities.” The departments a t Blackburn Koyal


Infirmary and Burnley General Hosnital have used a variety of methods and new ways of working to improve and speed up the treatment of patients. These include streamlining and separating those patients with minor injuries from those with major ones and also navigating patients through the department in a more efficient fashion with an experienced nurse. Anne Asher, acting chief executive of the


East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "We are delighted to meet this target, thanks to the hard work of staff working in emergency care throughout our hospi­ tals. The additional capital funds will bring about real improvements for patients. We are now working towards the 98% target which will be our biggest chal­ lenge yet."
