Multi-million pound investments in facilities at hospitals in Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Goole
HOSPITALS serving Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Goole have benefited from multi-million-pound investment.
Despite Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals NHS Foundations Trust having to save £15 million per year until 2014 – as part of a four-year drive to save £20 billion nationally – bosses say they are committed to improving services.

“Given the indifferent construction of this article, it should come as no surprise to anyone reading it, that many children, as well as migrants to our shores, have difficulty with the English language.
For example, had the the list of those persons attending the official opening been written as follows: - from the left, Dr Arun Nayyar - GP: Dr Paul Mack - former oncologist: Dr Kevin Speed - Consultant Haematologist; Ms Karen Jackson - Chief Executive, North Lincolnshire & Goole Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; Mrs Audrey Burton - Mayoress of North East Lincolnshire; Mr Jim Whittingham- Chairman of North Lincolnshire & Goole Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; Councillor Mike Burton - Mayor of North East Lincolnshire; Ms Rebecca Taylor - Patient; Dr David James - Consultant Rheumatologist; Ms Debbie Tansley - Ward Sister, at least a greater number of readers would have been able to easily identify the individuals in the photograph.
Might I suggest that those lacking a proper command of the English language, should not be employed as journalists with English newspapers!”
