In April 2017 Castleberg Hospital in Giggleswick was closed on a temporary basis on safety grounds.  There were issues with the heating, electrics and drainage which led to this decision.

The governing body discussed a proposal from the CCG’s Clinical Executive Group that the hospital be re-opened once repairs had been undertaken. The recommendation  also included  the need to build on the community-based assets that sees Castleberg as a community based facility with options for a broader range of support services particularly the voluntary sector.
 
The future model of care that will be provided throughout Craven will aim to integrate services closer to patients’ homes and will include Castleberg Hospital acting as a community-based facility, with the option to provide a broader range of support services for Craven wherever possible.
 
The governing body acknowledged the value of the feedback provided by the local community and thanked those who had shared their views as part of the public consultation – around 1600 people, in all.  The Craven Community Group will welcome the views and opinions of the public to help shape local care for the future in Craven.
