Arising from Minute No. 21 (Maltby Ambulance Station), it was reported that a formal statement had been received from the Ambulance Trust as follows:-
“We would like to reassure members of the public that there are no firm plans in place to close any of our ambulance stations. We are simply planning for the future to ensure that we continue to meet the needs of our patients and the requirements of a modern ambulance service.
The Trust is looking at the possibility of introducing a ‘hub and spoke’ model in some more urban parts of the county but no firm plans have been discussed or approved at this stage.
Patients’ interests are at the heart of everything we do and any plans to change our estates configuration would support our ability to continue to deliver the highest quality, safe and responsive service to those calling 999 in Yorkshire and the Humber.
We would also like to reassure members of the public that any plans to change our estates configuration would be subject to consultation with staff and stakeholder organisations.”
