Motion text

That this House is gravely concerned by the continuing plans of the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Trust to close the coronary care unit and other acute admissions services at Westmorland General Hospital; notes the evidence available which contradicts claims that this would have no effect on the standards of coronary care available; welcomes the intervention of the Healthcare Commission; and strongly urges that plans for the closure of acute admissions services at Westmorland General Hospital should be put on hold until all opinions have been taken into account and other possible actions are considered which maintain or improve upon the current level of care available.
