When a cottage hospital in the heart of Thirsk closed in 2015 there were fears it would be sold off to housing developers. Lambert Memorial Hospital was built and bequeathed to the town in the late 19th century and a campaign soon started to ensure it wasn't lost as a community facility forever. The council stepped in and negotiated with N HS Property Services to purchase the site in 2018. During a public consultation in 2019 the vast majority of residents backed council proposals for the district's first-ever dedicated hospice, providing palliative and tespite care. Since then the council has agreed to gift the building to Herriot Hospice so it can take the plans forward.
