Hospital Services
We want to create more efficient hospital-based services for people who need them, making the best use of the resources and workforce across our system to plan and deliver effective hospital care.
Our Priorities
Taking into account planned improvements to ‘out of hospital’ care, we are working to plan hospital-based services for those who still need treatment in a hospital setting. This includes providing more consistent access to urgent and emergency care.
Working together across this larger area creates opportunities to share resources where we are currently ‘stretched’ and to work together to tackle some of the challenges we all share. This includes looking at new ways to train and recruit staff, sharing resources and joining up services across our region.

Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust
Patient transport
Attending hospital appointments can sometimes be challenging. While we offer transport services for those who meet the national eligibility criteria, we encourage patients to explore independent transportation options whenever possible (including friends, family and relatives), as this helps to ensure that the NHS funded service remains available for those who need it most.
Please use the information below to find out more about the range of transport options, and patient transport support, available in your area to help you get to your hospital appointment.
Visit the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust website here for information on hospital-provided transport and community transport in the area.
Visit the Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust website here for information on hospital-provided and community transport options.
Visit the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust website here for information on hospital-provided and community transport options.
There is help available with the costs of attending hospital appointments for those eligible on a low income. Find out about the Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme here.
Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can help with extra living costs, including a mobility payment if certain criteria is met. Find out more about PIP and how to apply here.
Humber and North Yorkshire Collaboration of Acute Providers (CAP)
Annual Report 2023/2024
The Collaboration of Acute Providers brings together all four NHS Trusts that deliver acute services in Humber and North Yorkshire, pooling our expertise in an unprecedented way.
- Our Collaborative comprises:
- Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
- Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust.
- York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
- Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust.
Over the last twelve months all four CAP Trusts have worked together to strengthen partnership and governance arrangements and to identify opportunities to do things together ‘once and at scale’. This report provides an
overview of the work of the collaborative during 2023/24.
This builds on a history of collaborative working at sub system level across Humber and North Yorkshire and York as well as builds on the success of working together across Humber and North Yorkshire during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our four Trusts work together through the CAP, recognising that we are stronger together and that the challenges we face cannot be addressed by one Trust alone. By focusing our collective efforts and resources we can address health inequalities and seek to deliver our services together in the most effective and efficient way.
