PUPILS digging for viclory during the Second World War event at Read Primary School (B111208/3a)


Extended surgery hours welcomed


. PATIENTS throughout many parts of East Lancashire have welcomed new


■ extended GP surgery opening hours, : according to a leading local doctor. A phased roll-out of the extra surgery


hours at many surgeries across the area has already been hailed a success. The Government aim was to have,


more than half the larger practices in Ribbie Valley, Hyndburn, Pendle, Burnley and Rossendale signed up t o : the scheme - but already nearly 70% are offering the service, with a possible further 10 practices planning to imple­ ment the scheme in the New Year.


-


' ^ The area’s.; community health provider, NHS East Lancashire, has


■ invented significantly in the extended hours service to ensure local patients have greater access to pre-bookable GP or Practice Nurse appointments. ) DrSwamy.Narayana, who represents local.clinicians on NHS East Lan­ cashire’s Professional Executive Com-


■ mittee, said he was pleased with the uptake by the public and the service ■: now on offer from many GPs.v -


• -He said a large proportion of local.; residents are now able to see their doc- tor in the early morning, evening or on=>; Saturday mornings instead.of relying ■


■ solely on daytimerbnly appointments; . The- extra hours, ;which began being.- phased in by niany GPs over recent ; months, were introduced after the Govt';-


ernment asked for extended surgery times to ensure more flexible access for the public. Although many patients were report­


ed to be happy with day-time hours, it was felt that working people and com­ muters would appreciate the opportuni-


- ty .to visit their GP-outside existing daytime hours.. ; '


• However, local'GP practices, which are run as private enterprises, have the. choice of whether to offer this enhanced ser-vice to their patients or opt for stay­ ing as they are


- ■ Dr Narayana said it was unrealistic to expect all single-handed practices to sign up, since the workload would be unrealistic for one indi-vidual working on their own, though he said that some might wish to join forces and. offer a combined rota.' " He added: “There has been a good


uptake in general. The main type of patients coming to the additional hours are those who work daytime hours, plus, commuters and carers. In other, words; those who might otherwise have had to. take time off their working day and lose ■money. People using the service have- told me that they are pleased that it has been offered to them


^ ;,.-.“We would advise patients to contact


■ their own GP. surgeries and take note of ■local information to see what extended opening timds are available..” ’

.day acting out life during the Second World War. ■ - ■


■ ■ Dressed in period clothes and playing the parts of evac­ uees, Land Girls and the Home Guard, the junior pupils took part in an air raid re-enactment and took shelter in the school hall where every­ one joined iii with a tradition­ al wartime sing-song. They also learnt about


W i ... in


Anderson shelters, which were- small shelters used by families; during the war, picked-tip. their spades to “DigTor Vic­ tory’’ in the school garden, and learnt how to “Make Do And Mend” by darning, sewing, and hearing about peg rugging - making a rug from scraps of material to save money. The day finished with a


street party in the school hall, where pupils celebrated the end of the war and listened to . •Prime Minister. Winston


m


Churchill’s-victory speech. ’ ; Mrs Dee Bottoms, who


helped to organise the event, said: “ It was an absolutely astounding success, all the children and their parents made a real effort with the clothes, they were really


^authentic looking. ■ “The children all absolutely


loved it and really enjoyed learning about all the different aspects of wartime life. It is li-ving history so it is great for them to have an.event like this.”
