Shadow Health Secretary backs campaign to keep A&E 24/7

I was delighted to welcome Wes Streeting, Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary, to west Cumbria to speak at a public meeting I organised on the future of emergency care in west Cumbria.

I’m concerned that the trust are struggling to provide overnight cover of doctors at A&E at West Cumberland Hospital and the impact this will have on patients.

Wes outlined Labour’s plan to double the number of medical school places to recruit thousands more doctors.

Keep up to date with my campaign to keep a fully-staffed, fully operational A&E open 24/7 at West Cumberland Hospital
