"The Vagina Monologue"
ON Saturday 23
April 2011, the Latin Lounge on Post Office Ave, in Southport played
host to a performance of "The Vagina Monologue"
presented by the Gambolling Arena Theatre Company. The event was
directed by Suzy Walker as part of the Southport Arts Festival 2011.
Guests not only had a stunning show to watch but also had a three
course meal and a glass of wine included in the ticket price! These
are a few snasp shots of the event.
Trust confirms ward closure
SHORTER stays
in hospital for patients and planning more care closer to home have
helped an NHS trust close a ward and achieve much-needed savings.
It is also being done without affecting patient care.
Ward 7b at Southport and Formby District General Hospital will close
before the end of May, saving Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS
Trust nearly £1m.
All the affected ward staff will be redeployed. Doctors will be
retained too, giving them more time with remaining patients.
The Trust must save £8½m, or 5% of its budget, in 2011/12 through a
combination of annual savings the Government says all NHS trusts
must make; a reduction in payments for treating each patient; and
other changes to the way the NHS is financed.
"This is a huge challenge but in the past 12 months we have reduced
the time each patient spends in hospital by nearly a day. Since the
beginning of April, we have also been responsible for providing
community health care services across Southport, Formby and West
Lancashire. We will be investing in those services to ensure people
can be better treated at home, in the community or as outpatients
rather than being admitted to hospital, further reducing the need
for hospital beds." said Chief Executive Jonathan Parry.
The closure of ward 7b, one of two cardiology wards at the hospital,
was announced to staff on Tuesday, 19 April 2011.
The closure is the first stage of a strategy to close three medical
wards over three years which Chief Executive Jonathan Parry revealed
at a series of staff presentations and public meetings earlier this
year.
Liz Yates, Director of Nursing, said:- "We have been very open
about the imminent closure of a ward but it is understandably
upsetting to those staff directly affected. All staff concerned will
be redeployed within the Trust and we are offering all the support
we can to them while at the same continuing to ensure our usual high
standard of care is maintained."
