The in-house laundry service at Airedale hospital is under threat.
Since 1970 it has been providing high quality linen services, keeping patients in comfort and staff in clean hygienic uniforms.
The service provides to hundreds of people in medical settings from North Yorkshire to Leeds and Bradford, as well as for ill people at home.
Trust management at Airedale are now saying that the service is unviable and may not be worth investing in. This puts jobs and a quality in-house service at risk.
“We the undersigned ask the management of Airedale NHS Foundation Trust to do everything possible to keep the laundry in-house and its 40+ staff in work.”

Been a great service since 1970. Why change it now? Leave it alone.
Absolute disgrace. Keep the jobs local and stop trying to cut corners with everything. The staff there do a brilliant job.
Save the laundry!!! 40 jobs is a lot for our area. Stop this nonsense.
They say its unviable but they just want to make more profit. Disgusting.
Need to keep services in house. Everything goes to pot when they start outsourcing.
