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
A very Happy New Year 2017 to all the wonderful people who keep our hospital and health services going in West Cumbria. To everyone who contributes to our local heathcare, be they doctors, nurses, ambulance staff or support staff, thank you for all you do, and wishing you a happy and easier 2017.

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.
We recently moved to Selby in North Yorkshire, but also have a base in Moor Row in Cumbria. My wife and I currently work in Leeds.
We have family and friends all over the UK, including Yorkshire, Cumbria, Lancashire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. I studied at the Universities of Bristol and UEA, and have worked in London, Cumbria and now 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.
