March to support WCH this afternoon

Reminder: a march to support maintaining services at West Cumberland Hospital is being organised for this afternoon (Sunday 14th June) by the We Need West Cumberland Hospital group.

The march begins at the Whitehaven Market Place gazebo at 1.30pm and will then proceed up King Street, turning off at Lowther Street and walking to Castle Park.

Obviously one of the services which the march is supporting is consultant-led maternity - so anyone who wants to keep that service at West Cumberland Hospital should #SupportOption1 and support this march if at all possible - though this protest is wider in scope than just maternity and also supports maintaining all district general hospital services in Whitehaven.
