This was delivered by Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust as part of their contract. From 1 November 2011, due to a shortage of emergency doctors and concerns about safety the board at Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust took the decision to close the emergency department at Pontefract Hospital temporarily between 10pm and 8am. The emergency department was fully re-opened on 3 September 2012 with an external provider covering the overnight service. In 2013, as part of a large scale hospital improvement programme to address the significant challenges facing the local NHS (called Meeting the Challenge) the roles of our three local hospitals (Dewsbury, Pinderfields and Pontefract), were reviewed. The review was in line with national guidance from NHS England that describes different types of urgent care services and how they should be organised to help people get to the right place for their medical needs. This guidance was developed to enable the local NHS to create systems which make routes for care easier, so patients use the appropriate service for their need, and urgent and emergency care services are freed up to support patients who are in greatest need. A detailed Integrated Impact Assessment of the Meeting the Challenge proposals was completed in 20131 that supported the local case for change. For many years the A&E service at Pontefract has been operating as more of an Urgent Treatment Centre (see definition on page 7) than a fully functioning A&E. This means the vast majority of people who are taken to hospital by ambulance from the east of our district are taken to Pinderfields to receive specialist emergency care. People arriving at Pontefract A&E who need admission to hospital are stabilised and transferred to Pinderfields. Both Dewsbury and Pontefract Hospitals provide consultant-led emergency care from a team of doctors and advanced nurse practitioners. There is a consultant present in the hospital during the day and available for advice out-of-hours, as well as full resuscitation facilities available. All three hospitals deal with urgent illnesses, injuries and conditions that can be seen without patients having to stay in hospital; these include cuts, sprains, broken bones, head injuries, eye problems and skin infections. 1 http://www.meetingthechallenge.co.uk/documents/making-the-case-for-change-evidence/ Healthwatch Wakefield Engagement on Urgent Care at Pontefract Hospital 2017 Page | 4 Purpose of the engagement The contract to deliver urgent care at Pontefract Hospital is due for renewal in 2018 so NHS Wakefield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has taken this opportunity to review the service to ensure that it serves our population as well as it can. The CCG commissioned Healthwatch Wakefield to lead on the engagement with local people. The questions in the survey were designed to help find out: 1. How people currently use healthcare services 2. What people currently know about the services that are provided at Pontefract Hospital 3. What other services people think could be provided at Pontefract Hospital Next steps No decisions have been made yet about urgent care at Pontefract Hospital, as the CCG believes the public should help shape the service. This report summarises public views on the issue so that they can be considered alongside independent clinical advice on safety and sustainability of services at Pontefract Hospital. If changes are needed that affect the way people currently use services, the CCG will consult with the public on the options they might consider. The CCG tells us that Pontefract Hospital is central to the current and future plans for healthcare for Wakefield district. As an example, from October 2017 there is an extended hours GP service at Pontefract Hospital offering

  • Following the Tragic Events That Occurred at the Kiss Nightclub in Sao Paulo, Brazil on 27 January 2013 Where 241 People Died, A
    WYFRA COMMUNITY 19 JULY 2013 ITEM NO SAFETY COMMITTEE 5 REPORT OF: DIRECTOR OF SERVICE DELIVERY PURPOSE OF REPORT: To inform Members of the results of a programme of during performance inspections which were carried out on the nights of 7 & 8 June 2013. RECOMMENDATION: That Members note the contents of this report. LOCAL GOVERNMENT (ACCESS TO INFORMATION) ACT DETAILS EXEMPTION CATEGORY: NONE ACCESS CONTACT OFFICER: CHRIS KEMP – FIRE PROTECTION MANAGER BACKGROUND PAPERS OPEN TO INSPECTION: ANNEXES: 1. Inspection Form SUMMARY Following the tragic events that occurred at the Kiss nightclub in Sao Paulo, Brazil on 27 January 2013 where 241 people died, a review of similar establishments within West Yorkshire identified that there are approximately 100 premises that potentially pose a higher risk due to large numbers of occupants. On the nights of 7 & 8 June 2013 Fire Protection carried out a series of inspections at these premises, this paper provides a breakdown of the results of those inspections. 1 BACKGROUND 1.1 On 27 January 2013, 241 people died in a fire at the Kiss nightclub in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The fire started in the early hours of the morning when a band member playing on stage ignited a pyrotechnic article which caused acoustic foam to ignite. The pyrotechnic did not form part of the planned stage activities, however its unscheduled use, together with only one exit from the premises proved a catastrophic combination. 1.2 The Kiss nightclub fire was the latest in a long line of fires in nightclubs, since 2000 there have been 10 significant fires worldwide which have resulted in the death of 1155 people.

  • Our Ref: 6560/20 I Would Like to Request The
    Our ref: 6560/20 I would like to request the following data from March 2019 to March 2020: There were 1095 reported hate crimes over someone's sexual orientation. 1. I would like the location of each crime. (To the closest village, town or city) 2. I would also like the age of each offender. There were 216 reported hate crimes over someone's gender identity. 1. I would like the location of each crime. (To the closest village, town or city) 2. I would also like the age of each offender. Please see the attached document. A hate crime is any criminal offence which is perceived by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice based on a person's disability, race, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity. Please note recent increases in hate crime are predominantly associated with administrative change in relation to Force crime recording processes which have resulted in an increased likelihood of a crime being recorded following an incident report to the Police. Crime increases have been reported across a number of crime types this year and the increases in hate crime follow a similar pattern to related offences such as public order and low level violence without injury. The force has made improvements to how information about hate incidents is recorded. A number of sub-categories for the recording of faith and disability hate crimes are being introduced to get a better understanding of the impact of national and international events on local communities and improve and target services for victims.
