Royal Preston Hospital Emergency Department Pic: Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust A Lancashire NHS boss says the county was already aiming
Eldon Primary School vows to fight damning Ofsted report and slams ‘small number of parents’A Lancashire NHS boss says the county was already aiming to reshape local services in the mould outlined by the government this week.
Some of the early responses to the online public consultation attracted ridicule for failing to take the issue seriously. Amongst them were suggestions that a Wetherspoons pub should be opened in every hospital, free cinema tickets be made available on the NHS and that the Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta should take charge of the health service.
“We are urging staff, everyone else involved in our organisation, as well as the general public, to have their say on what the NHS should be doing and to share their thoughts on where things can improve,“ he said. ICBs – the 42 organisations across England that oversee local health and care services – have been asked by the government to share “insights from your communities” as part of the consultation. Next month, they will be provided with a ‘workshop in a box’ to help them gather meaningful responses.
