Scarborough Acute Services Review: Views on a Need for Change

Report - 1 July 2019

This review is part of a wider programme of work to improve the health and wellbeing of local people in Scarborough and beyond.

Summary

The purpose of the review was to develop an in-depth understanding of the challenges facing Scarborough Hospital and wider health and care services in Scarborough and the surrounding areas. During the first stage of the review, a number of stakeholder engagement events took place. These were attended by over 350 people, which included a mixture of staff, patients and other stakeholders. A range of questions, concerns and ideas were discussed.

Key findings

  1. A need for more specialist services in Scarborough
  2. More could be done around staffing issues
  3. A need for better links between services
  4. A need for better communication
  5. The cost or burden of travel should be taken into consideration by the NHS

When the document was published, a short survey was created to capture peoples’ feedback on the report. The summary document and link to the survey was sent to everyone who registered for and/or attended the stakeholder events and was also shared widely in the local area in both printed form and online
