£50 million to upgrade WCH

It has been announced that a full upgrade to West Cumberland Hospital would require £50 million. The NHS Trusts also admit that there is a £30 million maintenance backlog.

The people of Copeland are entitled to know how that situation arose, and what the comparable costs are for a new hospital.

The NHS Trust should publish more details both of what is included in the costs of refurbising WCH, and the costs of a Greenfield Site option.;
