Dear Colleague

Developing Services: Local Health Priorities.

I am writing to invite you to attend a meeting to discuss local health priorities. Your organization has worked closely with local PCTs in the past.

Bradford and Airedale Teaching PCT has been looking at the health needs of people from across the district and has identified a number of key areas for improvement.

However, the PCT acknowledges that local people, communities of interest, and local voluntary and community groups may be aware of important health needs that are not currently being addressed.

The PCT is to hold four stakeholder meetings to allow local groups and individuals the opportunity to identify the health issues that matter most to them. The PCT can only start to develop the services people need if it knows what people want.

Two meetings are to be held in Keighley, two meetings are to be held in Bradford, on the following dates:

Sir Swire-Smith Hall, Keighley College, Keighley

Tuesday 30 October 10.30 a.m. – 12.30 p.m. to be followed by lunch

Tuesday 30 October 1.00 p.m. – 3.30 p.m. to begin with lunch from 1.00 p.m.

Main Hall, Carlisle Business Centre, Manningham, Bradford

Wednesday 7 November 10.30 a.m. – 12.30 p.m. to be followed by lunch

Wednesday 7 November 1.00 p.m. – 3.30 p.m. to begin with lunch from 1.00 p.m.

You can confirm your attendance by email to: dave.ross@bradford.nhs.uk . Please state any specific dietary or langauge requirements you have.

Thank you for helping us to give local people the health services they need.

Yours sincerely,
Dave Ross
