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.
