    Harrogate Borough Council looks set this week to sign off design and project work for its ageing conference venue which has seen its financial position worsen while being used as an NHS Nightingale Hospital.

    The 40-year-old centre could remain on stand-by as a temporary hospital until March next year, and a report put to councillors, external says without investment there is a “very real risk the venue will not survive”.

    It adds the convention centre is in “critical need” of upgrades to keep its national appeal and compete with planned venues in Hull and Gateshead.

    The rebuild would involve three halls being demolished to make way for a new 5,000 sq m hall, as well as a refurbishment of the venue’s auditorium.

    Convention centre director Paula Lorimer said the upgrades would “reinvigorate and re-establish” the venue.

    She said: “My ambition is for us to return to the top tier of conference and exhibition centres in the UK as we attract new – and bigger – events in the future".

    The 1998 winners were scheduled to face top-flight side Hull FC in the last 16.

    "Super League sides will have played three rounds before the next stage of the cup was due to take place compared to over five months since our last competitive fixture.

  8. ADHD system 'broken' with five-year waiting timespublished at 08:53 British Summer Time 28 July 2020

    The system for diagnosing adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is "broken" with some people having to wait up to five years to be assessed, the BBC has found.

    Lisa Kirby

    Freedom of Information requests to NHS trusts found at least 21,000 adults on waiting lists for ADHD services.

    One patient who was told to wait two years for a diagnosis said: "There are people out there absolutely desperate."

    South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SWYP) said one man had waited 1,842 days before assessment - more than five years - with two women waiting 1,788 and 1,455 days before their first assessment in 2019.

    The trust does not have a target time. Its average wait was more than a year.

    Consultant psychiatrist Prof Marios Adamou said the SWYP Trust had worked "to find solutions to reduce waiting times and increase access to the adult ADHD service".

    He said "despite dealing with an unprecedented pandemic" the trust had asked for more money to increase the capacity of the service and a "new clinical pathway" put in since April had "the potential to reduce waiting lists further".

    A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: "We are determined to see improvements in access to ADHD services and as part of the NHS Long Term Plan children and young people with neurodevelopmental disorders will receive better support throughout the diagnostic process, backed by an extra £33.9 billion a year for the NHS."

    "If you have any footage or photos of either of these incidents, please share them with us. Rather than just sharing on social media, please send them directly to us."

    The footage could be "vital" to officers' investigations, he added.
