Stephen Haraldsen's view on the situation in North Cumbria's hospitals
Stephen Haraldsen, Conservative candidate to be MP for Copeland, has commented on the situation in North Cumbria's hospitals as follows:
"The West Cumberland Hospital and the Cumberland Infirmary are having trouble dealing with the volume and complexity of cases at the moment, struggling to get people well and out of hospital.
"Just last week the Government gave the trust an extra £3 million to treat more patients, on top of the extra £47 million they got last year.
"This major incident isn't the hospital's fault, but I hope they can work to sort it out as soon as possible so patients get the treatment they need."
