Scarborough and North East Yorkshire Healthcare NHS Trust was formed in 1992. It runs two hospitals – Scarborough District General Hospital and Bridlington Hospital – and also provides health care from community hospitals at Whitby, Driffield and Malton which are run by the local primary care trusts (NHS East Riding and NHS North Yorkshire and York).
The Trust provides a range of acute hospital services for around 240,000 people living in and around Scarborough, Bridlington, Whitby and Ryedale. It is also the largest employer in the area employing over 2,400 staff. Among those staff, 1,341 have been with the Trust for over 5 years.
Over the past year (2008/2009) the Trust has had significant success, particularly in relation to financial improvement and performance delivery and has met its targets for delivering treatment within 18 weeks of referral and seeing A&E patients within the maximum four hour wait target.
The Trust also continues to make great progress in driving down Healthcare Associated Infections and is one of the best performing Trusts in the region.
With a new management structure in place sustaining and improving on this position is now the Trust’s main aim and to deliver this, it will be commencing a programme of activities to work towards achieving Foundation Trust status.
