A HEALTH boss has briefed an MP on a host of issues at Airedale Hospital.

Skipton and Ripon MP Julian Smith this month met with Airedale NHS Foundation Trust chief executive Brendan Brown.

On the agenda were key issues for the Trust including plans for the hospital’s newly-built Acute Assessment Unit.

Mr Smith later said: “The meeting was a great opportunity to hear about the Trust’s progress on several key issues.”
