A DOCTORS’ surgery in the Yorkshire Dales has finally been given a superfast broadband connection following a campaign to bring its services up to speed.
It means Aysgarth surgery is now part of the NHS’s state-of-the-art N3 network, which provides healthcare professionals with quick, easy access to information ensuring that patients get the best possible care.
Upper Dales councillor John Blackie was among those who campaigned for the connection and he praised the county council for not ignoring such remote communities in the roll out of their Superfast North Yorkshire programme.
“They saw the huge importance of maintaining sustainable communities by broadband underpinning the social infrastructure, like the all-important GP surgery, which they need to thrive in the future,” he said.
