Public Meeting about the changes to Dewsbury Hospital in mid September

Organised by the campaign group KASDDH

Paula Sherriff MP, in the chair

Invited:
Mid Yorkshire Hospital Trust
North Kirklees CCG
Healthwatch (now unable to attend)

Services at Dewsbury hospital have changed following the Meeting the Challenge Consultation plans which were approved by government, in 2013.

No amount of shouting will change that now!

The next changes are due to take place in mid September 2016, with a further set of changes in March 2017.

The residents of North Kirklees were promised that no changes would take place to the Dewsbury Hospital, without the Care Closer to Home provision being in place. But how do we know what that is and how to access it? How do we know if it is working?

Are you happy with the provision? Is it working for you?

Come to hold the decision makers to account.

You can do this by clicking on the comments button on the website www.northkirkleesnhssupportgroup.org.uk and we will get back to you in private. It is best NOT to post sensitive information on the 38degrees locals group site, as it is public.

Are you clear about what service to use for your illness or complaint? Is your GP your first port of call? Is the 111 service working for you?
