2187  NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE – It was moved by Councillor Mrs Redfern and seconded by Councillor Waltham –

This council acknowledges the last Labour Government’s commitment to cut £20 Billion in the NHS in their establishment of the Nicholson challenge.  In addition, we welcome the Conservative Led Government’s commitment to ring fence funding to the NHS, despite the poor state of the nations finances.  Locally this council calls on the Clinical Commissioning Group for North Lincolnshire to commit to retaining the same hospital services in Scunthorpe when considering the future of commissioning in North Lincolnshire.  It is important to reassure local residents that we retain Accident and Emergency and Maternity Services and other important clinical procedures in Scunthorpe.
