PUTTING Healthcare first in East Lancashire is the message of a new public awareness campaign highlight­ ing how services have changed from


November 1st.


Meeting Patients’ Needs programme is set to deliver wide-ranging improvements focused on ensuring patients are seen in the right place, at the right time and by the right person. In the run up to November 1st, people


have been able to find out more about how the changes may affect them, by reading their local paper, tuning into the radio or even checking out advertisements on the back of a bus. Mr Joe Gibson, who is leading the pro­


gramme, said the new way services will be provided aims to improve standards of care, reduce waiting times and give more choice to patients. Mr Gibson said: “November 1st marked


the start of a new era in standards of healthcare in East Lancashire and is very much something we can all share in and benefit from. “Meeting Patients’ Needs is really all


about putting healthcare first - making sure that we give everyone the best treat­ ment and the bes t standard of care whether that is in hospital, in the commu­ nity or in the home.” The changes are part of the Meeting


Patients’ Needs (MPN) programme deliv­ ered by a partnership of the East Lan­ cashire Hospitals NHS Trust, East Lan­ cashire Primary Care Trust (PCT), Black­ burn with Darwen PCT, North West Ambulance Service, Lancashire County Council social services and Blackburn with Darwen social services. Improvements to services will be phased


in from November 1st and will be complet­ ed next year. Leaflets outlining the benefits and how the changes affect everybody are also being delivered to homes across East Lancashire. New services a t the Royal Blackburn


Hospital and Burnley General Hospital, and more choice of services in the commu­ nity, are being introduced to give patients across East Lancashire more tailored care. As part of the new way healthcare will be


provided: • Burnley General Hospital will focus


more on planned operations and (from later next year) specialist care of high risk pregnancies and premature babies. A 24- hour Urgent Care Centre will continue to see the majority of patients who typically use the current A and E department • The Royal Blackburn Hospital will be


a flagship centre for emergency care across East Lancashire and will treat the most serious cases admitted by “blue light” ambulance. An Urgent Care Centre will continue to see patients with minor injuries and illnesses • Outpatients and day cases will still be


dealt with at both sites • More health care will also take place


in the community with investment in new health centres and birthing centres Mr Gibson added: “November 1st was


just the beginning of improvements to services and heralds a series of firsts in healthcare for the people in East Lan­ cashire. Over the coming weeks everyone will have the chance to find out what will be offered where and how the new services can help them and their families.”


• RESUBMITTED plans to alter the exterior of a Clitheroe bar have been turned down. An application to change the use of a garage to create a general store and associated vehicle turning area, as well as the installation of doors in an alleyway to form an entrance lobby were considered by members of the council’s planning committee. However, the plan for So Bar, off King Street, was refused due to its close proximity to residential properties and the detriment which would be caused to their amenities.

Former Mayor’s 90th birthday


by Faiza Afzaal


A FO RM E R Ribble Valley Mayor has cel­ e b r a te d h is 9 0 th birthday. Coun. Charles Wark-


man, pictured, marked the milestone with fam­ ily and raised £200 for Ribble Valley Carers Link. In May 2004, Coun.


Warkman was invested as the Mayor of the Rib- ble Valley and a t 86 became the oldest mayor in the borough council’s 30-year history, with speculation rife that he could also be the oldest mayor in the country. Coun. Warkman lives


with his wife, Ruth, in Mellor and has never seen age as a barrier to serving his community. He served on Mellor


Parish Council for more than 25 years and Rib­


ble Valley Borough Council for 24 years. T h at service included seeing the borough coun­ cil through some of its most testing times when, in the 1980s, some 2,400 jobs were to be lost a t Brockhall and Calder- stones hospitals under sweeping NHS reforms. He was born in Salt-


burn and saw service in th e RAF, including wartime service in India. He worked for 40


years with what is now British Telecom, rising to become a senior offi­ cer for the North East. Over the years Coun.


Warkman has helped to raise money for a num­ ber of charities and even used his birthday cele­ brations as a means of raising money for a worthwhile local cause. Speaking to , the


Clitheroe Advertiser and Times earlier this week, he said: “I would like to thank all my family, friends and well-wishers who congratulated me on my special day. “I have been inundat­


ed with birthday cards. So much so tha t I have received cards from peo­ ple that I haven’t seen or heard from in ages and some from strangers. “To mark my birth­


day we had a family meal at my daughter’s house, which was enjoyed by all.”

A night to remember


RIBBLESDALE Rotarians celebrated the organisa­ tion’s 30th anniversary at its charter dinner. Members and guests enjoyed an evening at the


Moorock Inn, Waddington. Guest speaker was the Mayor of Clitheroe, Coun.


David Berryman. He was accompanied to the event by his wife, the Mayoress of Clitheroe, Mrs Maria Berryman. Other dignitaries who joined club president Mr


Edwin Gretton, included Mr Jeff Riding, president of the Rotary Club of Clitheroe; district governor Mr Dave Bennett; Mr Brian Eastwood, president of Clitheroe Lions, and Mr Steven Lord, chairman of Clitheroe Round Table. Our photograph shows guests at the charter dinner. (T011007/2)


THESE days, more and more of us are enhancing our homes with the use of PVCu products. Here in Pendle, rarely a week goes by without someone applying for permission to extend their homes in this way. Previously, if we wanted to do the job ourselves, this meant several trips to various suppliers to get all the bits and pieces necessary to do the work. But now, there is an outlet right here in Pendle where you can get


everything you need under the one roof - a genuine “one stop" shop catering for the needs of the trad­ er and the DIY enthusiast alike.


Valley Trade Plastics, on the Valley Forge Industrial Estate in Reedyford Road, Nelson, has opened a trade counter where you can find everything from clothing to dust sheets, adhesives to cleansing products, silicone and sealants, soffits, fascias, barge boards and also plumbing and guE§


A beautiful day out for walkers


H A R D C A S T L E Crags, near Hebden Bridge, was the starting point for Clitheroe Ramblers’ Association. Going north towards


Haworth, the group veered left to cross to the charming farming hamlet of Walshaw. Over the hill to Wal­ shaw Dean Reservoir they encountered cold, fresh winds, but the beautiful blue sky and


tering as well as all kinds of quality tools. With the company’s pledge “Don’t worry if you can’t find what you want - if you tell us what you need, we will stock it for you!”


The trade counter opened for busi­ ness for the first time on Saturday - and is already drawing customers


“With so many people deciding they want to improve their home


great views more than compensated for this. Leader John Webb


set a very steady pace, and the group was rewarded with plenty of time at the National Trust "Muddy Boots" cafe for tea and cakes. A final walk through


woodland, covered with a carpet of orange and yellow leaves, and lit by dappled sunshine, made an end to a lovely day.


tories, or kitchen/bathroom with our decorative cladding or com­ plete your exterior with our PVC decking, we can now offer you everything the job requires. There is no need to go to various suppli­ ers for all the different bits and pieces any more - it’s all here,”


So if you are planning an enhance­ ment to your home make Valley Trade Plastics your first port of call - you won’t need to go any-.
