New 2 Hour Crisis Response Service for Scarborough Borough

The NHS in North Yorkshire is putting new services in place to try and deal with some of the issues that have been created by the pandemic.

The pressure on the NHS has caused backlogs for existing services and staffing pressures across the system.

Wendy Balmain from the north Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group says they are looking at new ways of working to relieve some of the pressures, including the introduction of a new 2 hour crisis response team.

Wendy says the new two response service is being introduced shortly and will help to reduce the number of people who need to be admitted to hospital.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
