Residents invited to quiz York and Scarborough hospital chiefs
Health bosses responsible for hospitals in York and Scarborough can be quizzed by residents at a special public meeting this week.
People across York, Scarborough, and North Yorkshire have been invited to put questions directly to board members of the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at an online event on Wednesday, September 23.
The event, which incorporates the Trust’s Annual General Meeting, will take place from 5.30pm to 6.30pm on Wednesday, and is open to everyone.
Attendees will get a chance to hear about their local NHS, the progress made over the past year and the priorities ahead at York and Scarborough NHS Trust’s Annual Members’ Meeting.
Martin Barkley, chair of York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: “Our Annual Members’ Meeting is an important opportunity to reflect on the past year, but also to look ahead and talk openly about the challenges and opportunities facing our Trust and raise questions or concerns with me and other members of the Trust Board.
“Our hospitals and services belong to the communities we serve, so I would encourage anyone with an interest in their local NHS to join us.
“Whether you want to hear more about what we have achieved, understand our priorities for the year ahead or ask us a question, you will be very welcome.”
The trust described the meeting as an opportunity to hear directly from the trust’s board about the past year, learn more about the services it provides across its hospitals and communities, and hear about the challenges and opportunities ahead.
There will also be an opportunity to put questions directly to members of the Trust board in advance and during a live question-and-answer session.
