A Keighley district resident is being sought to help ensure the views of the public are heard on a hospital body.

The council of governors at Bradford Teaching Hospitals is seeking representatives from Keighley and Bradford West constituencies, together with a staff governor.

Chairman, David Richardson, said: “The council plays a very important part in the running of our hospitals.

“It is important people stand as governors so we have patients’ voices and those from our local communities represented in the important decisions we make.”

The body meets four times a year, and governors also sit on hospital committees and working groups, as well as support various projects.

Call 0208 8899203 or e-mail Ciara.norris-@electoralreform.co.uk for a nomination form. The deadline is October 21.
