Decision details

It was moved by Councillor Sir Ron Watson, seconded by Councillor Prendergast and

RESOLVED Unanimously:

On 15July 2021, the Council agreed to grant the Freedom of the Borough to Aintree and Liverpool NHS Foundation Trust, Southport and Ormskirk NHS Trust, Alder Hey Children’s NHS Trust and Mersey Care NHS Trust and for representatives of those bodies to be invited to an Extra-ordinary Council meeting and civic reception in due course, in recognition of their hard work and dedication during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Council would like to put on record that whilst the honour is to be bestowed on the organisations named above, the Council extends its gratitude to all NHS institutions who have provided services within Sefton and to Sefton residents during the pandemic and no discourtesy is intended by naming the four organisations as representatives of the wider NHS community.
