This blog was set up to address Health issues in West Cumbria and support local health services. We must keep Acute General Hospital services in West Cumbria, including maternity, A and E, intensive care, orthopaedics, maternity, paediatrics, and cardiac services. We must also keep our community hospitals in Cumbria, including Millom Community Hospital and Mary Hewetson Cottage hospital in Keswick. The author of this blog served on Cumbria Health Scrutiny Committee from June 2017 to March 2023
It has been suggested in the local papers that we might get some indication of the progress of the closer to home consultation in the coming fortnight. I suspect the local NHS Trusts will need a longer period of reflection to decide anything meaningful, but it will be interesting to see what they say at their forthcoming meetings.

I have lived in several parts of Britain but my family roots are in the Northern UK and I returned to the region with my family in 2004.
Our current base is Moor Row in West Cumbria but we also have family and friends all over the UK, particularly in Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Hertfordshire. I studied at the Universities of Bristol and UEA in Norwich, and have worked in London, Cumbria and Leeds.
My academic qualifications are in Economics and I work as a manager in the Telecoms industry. I have previously been a school governor, health authority member, and at various times a County, City & district, borough, town and parish councillor.
