NHS to review Pendle amid worries over pharmacy shortages and ambulance responses
A new NHS regional body is to review health property and land in Pendle, where there are worries about an alleged lack of health clinic space, doctor and midwife clinic arrangements, pharmacy medicine and staff shortages and ambulance responses.
In Barnoldswick, councillors say primary care services have worsened and become scattered over time and since the pandemic. There are less face-to-face services at the Butts health centre and its future is unclear.More recently, conversion of a Yorkshire Bank into a clinic was criticised as too small. Another NHS body, NHS Property Services Ltd, is also involved with the changes.
Pendle councillors there were Lib-Dem David Whipp, Conservative Nadeem Ahmed, Lib-Dem Chris Church and Lib-Dem Mick Strickland. Also present was Rose Rouse, Pendle Council’s chief executive, and Phillip Spurr, director of place. The minutes then state: “AR [Alistair Rose] said the Yorkshire Bank facility picks-up the residual services from Butts Clinic, but is not the final answer. He advised that there is difficulty of funding investment in the north due to the low value of existing assets.
“Everything we have said so far shows why we need this. It’s about the perilous state of services. I don’t know what else we can do?”
