With proposals to change the delivery of health services across County Durham and Tees Valley and parts of North Yorkshire likely to impact on how some hospital patients, visitors and staff travel, the NHS Joint PCT Committee has appointed JMP Consulting to provide transport advice.
This work links well to the on-going joint working promoted by the Tees Transport and Health Partnership, formed three years ago, which includes representatives from all local NHS Trusts, two ambulance services, local authorities and patient bodies.
As part of this work, Peter Hardy will be ensuring that issues identified are included in the Local Transport Plans and Accessibility Strategies currently being prepared by the Tees Valley Local Authorities.
