Trust denies threat to eye services at WCH
The North Cumbria Acute Services NHS Trusts have denied that there is any truth in rumours of a threat to opthalmology services at West Cumberland Hospital.
The West Cumbria Society for the blind had heard rumours that the hospital might lose eye services and wrote to the PCT asking if there were any plans for such a change. According to a report which will be carried in tomorrow's Whitehaven News, both the PCT and the Acute Services Trust have categorically stated that there are no such plans.
