Pressure Remains on Yorkshire Coast NHS Services

There may be fewer COVID patients in out hospitals but health leaders say there is still enormous pressure on local NHS services.

The NHS on the Yorkshire Coast is going to have a backlog of patients to deal with as the COVID pressures on the local health service ease.

Health bosses are asking everyone to make sure they know the right way to access services to help manage that pressure including using the 111 service and the NHS app.

Amanda Bloor from the NHS says there is still a huge demand for NHS services.

Even with COVID pressures easing, Amanda Bloor from the NHS in the county says there is a backlog of patients for many services and continuing pressure on vaccination services.

The NHS offers a guide to accessing urgent care service on their website https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/urgent-and-emergency-care-services/

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.

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