Millom "Health Village" moves closer

Proposals to concentrate more health services on the site of Millom Community Hospital look to be moving nearer.

The County Council's plan to improve six care homes in Cumbria, including the move of a home in Millom to a site adjacent to the hospital, appear to be attracting support, and NHS Cumbria, (e.g. the local PCT) has indicated that they are likely to approve the business plan for the Millom "Health Village."

The concentration of these facilities in new buildings adjacent to the hospital is good news and is likely to strengthen further the case for maintaining and supporting Millom Community Hospital.
