North Yorkshire's Mayor has unveiled plans to get people out of hospitals.
David Skaith he wants more of a community focus as people recover, adding:
" We are actually developing health on a high street plan and how we can actually bring health and health services into our communities. And we're looking at a specific urban and coastal offering of that. So what that would mean to basically take some services out of hospitals and bring them more, more into, into the communities.
"That work started about two weeks ago, and so we're looking at what the requirements would be of our region."
Mayor Skaith says it's a new plan for health in North Yorkshire, which he says may be more required than in some other comparable areas:
"As we've touched on before, maybe a slightly over average person living in some of our communities, so what health services they may need and how we can potentially bring out those out of the hospital and put them more into our community. So that much more accessible challenge that we face in our rural and our coast and our rural areas extremely.
"We're developing that as we speak."
