I checked online prior to go to the Utc with a 12year old child with wrist and hand pain and swelling.
At arrival, the lovely receptionist warned us that they couldn’t xray children. We were seen anyway by a brilliant nurse who sent us to York Hospital for the Minor Injuries to have the hand & wrist xrayed. She could bot rule out a fracture.
From past experience, choldren were xrayed there. It seems that on deciding to stop that complete service, someone forgot to update the website. This created an unnecessary journey and time for us and staff there. Everyone we contacted with were brilliant. It’s a shame to have lost this service, vital to so many people in Ryedale area and surrounding rural villages. Please reinstate as soon as possible And update the website information! Thank you.
