The NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board are pleased to share that the engagement report on Goole and District Hospital (GDH) and wider community health services has now been published. You can read the full report on the Goole Hospital engagement page at the Next Chapter: Goole and District Hospital.

Between May and August 2025, they had around 760 conversations with people in Goole and the surrounding area about their experiences of local health and care services, as well as their thoughts on the future of Goole and District Hospital (GDH). Through a mix of listening events, community group visits, youth workshops, exit surveys, and an online (and paper) survey, people told them what matters most to them — what’s working well, and where improvements are needed.

The findings show a deep sense of connection to Goole and District Hospital, alongside concerns about service changes, travel challenges, and communication gaps. These valuable insights reflect the lived experiences of local people and will play an important role in shaping the ongoing work to develop sustainable, future-focused services that truly meet the needs of the Goole community.

There is also an updated joint position statement from Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board and the Humber Health Partnership you can access from the same page.

The Save Goole Hospital Action Group have asked if Newport Parish Council would share the attached template with with a view to sending it to Dr Simon Cox, East Ridings Place Director at the North Yorkshire and Humber Integrated Care Board to support them with this new area of their work, as part of the Save Goole Hospital campaign. They are asking him to reconsider the current proposal to make the current temporary opening hours at Goole’s Urgent Treatment Centre of 07.00hrs to 20.00hrs permanent. They believe this not in the best interests of all residents in the area and also places undue extra pressure on the Emergency Care Departments at larger hospitals.

They have spent the last few weeks highlighting to the public the importance of completing the survey that the Integrated Care Board have advertised and are also in discussions with the Communications Director to see if the engagement process can be longer as currently it is due to end on 16th  November.
