Bassetlaw District Council’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee will be carrying out a “Review of the Future of Services at Bassetlaw District General Hospital” as part of its work programme for the municipal year.

The review will hear from a range of different parties and invite key individuals from the health service to contribute. The meetings will be open and held in public so anyone wishing to attend may do so.

Councillor Griff Wynne, Chair of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee at Bassetlaw District Council said:

“There is a huge amount of public concern surrounding the Future of Services at Bassetlaw Hospital, so much so that this was the only health topic submitted to the Committee for review.

As a District Council, we have a community leadership role to fulfil and by conducting an open and transparent Scrutiny Review into the hospital we can help the public to address their concerns. The review will be an open process and we will be shortly announcing details of the scrutiny panel, the scope of the review and future meeting dates.”

The Overview & Scrutiny Committee will also be reviewing Bassetlaw District Council Local Lettings and Choice Based Lettings Policies, Civic Pride in Worksop and the District, Attracting new businesses to rural areas/access to rural services and Litter and the night time economy.
