ACUTE ADMISSIONS SERVICES AT WESTMORLAND GENERAL HOSPITAL

Early day motion 1589, tabled 4 June 2007 by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 15 members.

That this House supports the retention of the coronary care unit and other acute admissions services at Westmorland General Hospital; and calls on the Board of the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Trust to pay attention to the overwhelming opposition to closure from the local community and therefore reverse the plans, given that closure would put the lives of patients in South Lakeland in severe danger.

Signatures by party: Labour 6, Liberal Democrat 6, DUP 2, Conservative 1.
