Shotley Update
On Friday I went to a rather sparsely attended “stakeholder event” meeting of the County Durham Primary Care Trust (PCT to those in the know) to discuss Urgent Care. That’s the kind of care we get when we need sudden help, whether it’s blue flashing lights and Accident and Emergency, or a trip with Mum in the car to the Out of Hours service.
I was somewhat reassured to be told that the Urgent Care provision at Shotley Bridge - The Minor Injuries Unit and the Out of Hours Service - should “look very much the same” when the strategy is finalised at a meeting between the Hospital Trust and the PCT.
I should get a copy of the final strategy document and will keep you informed.
have your say
