A message from Jane Robinson, Sue Jacques, Brent Kilmurray and Dave Gallagher:

The care you give to the people of County Durham and the way you work with colleagues in other organisations is exceptional. This was recognised during a recent County Durham Care Partnership Executive meeting, during a visit by Professor Claire Fuller, National Primary Care Medical Director and in the Health Service Journal Awards.

More importantly the people you care for every day send in compliments and thank you messages. They live a better life because of you.

We know that we are often caring for people during times of high demand for services. It is during these times that the strength of our working relationships and partnerships is of vital importance to the residents of County Durham.

On behalf of the County Durham Care Partnership we want to offer our thanks to you for everything you do and for the way in which you work together to get the best outcomes for people. We know that you are working incredibly hard to look after people at a challenging time and we value your dedication, commitment and outstanding care.

Best wishes

Jane Robinson Corporate Director Adult and Health Services DCC

Sue Jacques Chief Executive CDDFT

Brent Kilmurray Chief Executive TEWV
