MORE than 50 people attended a health summit to discuss ways to improve NHS services.
The event at the Rossendale Borough Council offices saw issues such as heart and cardiovascular disease, mental health, suicide and access to services discussed.
Those attending came from a range of NHS, council, private and voluntary sector organisations.
Dr Diane van Ruitenbeek, chair of NHS East Lancashire CCG, said there was an impressive spirit of enthusiasm and commitment, adding: “There is a lot of good work going on across Rossendale and we have pledged to coordinate it and work together to improve people’s health.”
Events are being planned for Hyndburn, the Ribble Valley, Burnley and Pendle.
