The Success Regime’s proposals for the future of healthcare in West Cumbria have been met with outrage, disappointment and disgust.

Here’s what you’ve been saying:

 

“This just keeps on getting worse! Are we West Cumbrians not worthy of treatment on on our doorstep?

“Do people have to die for things to change?

“I have no faith whatsoever in the regime.

“One of the regime was a GP in the area but yet cannot see what’s going on on his own doorstep, shame on you. I could scream!”

“So despite hosting Europe’s most controversial nuclear plant and soon the UK’s largest nuclear power station, we don’t qualify for a full service hospital.”

Posted by Tim Knowles

“Success Regime is badly named.

“Possibly no A&E or maternity delivery department.

“I hope they can sleep at night. It’s only a matter of time before someone in West Cumbria dies because of these cuts. It’s a disgrace!”

“It’s like staring death in the face! Success Regime?”

Posted by Robyn Bell

“I hope there are no major incidents at Sellafield.”

Posted by Josephine Pae

“Success for who? Not the people who need treatment.”

Posted by Lorraine Everett

“I’m so angry, we won’t have any services left. Don’t know how they can sleep at night, they say decisions haven’t been made – they have.

“Success Regime? More like death regime. Absolutely shocking.”

Posted by Ian McKain

“It’s a disaster for everyone in West Cumbria, to all local councils and that rotten to the core Government, shame on you all!”

Posted by Hazel Richardson

“Shocking. There will be more deaths than successful treatments!

“If only their family would had to travel that awful road whilst seriously ill or in labour!”

Posted by Laura Eilbeck

“There should be two hospitals. I can’t see this working at all.”

Posted by Carole Caulfield

“Can anybody explain please why did they build new hospital to close most of it down?”

Posted by Lulu Kennedy

“I hate how it is called the Success Regime.

“These aren’t successes for the people whom the hospitals serve “

“What a joke. How big do they think Carlisle hospital is?”

Posted by Emma Henderson

 “They are doing exactly what they want to do and not what the people of the west need.

“They are turning West Cumberland Hospital into a cottage hospital by stealth.”

Posted by Peter Sherwood

“How do they expect to get to the Cumberland Infirmary in winter storms and floods? “Have they got some special arrangement we don’t know about?”

Posted by Audrey Studholme

“All options mean less services in both the hospital and community for the west of the county.

“Is there going to be better transport links? I think not, an hour in an ambulance is not a good option for anyone!”

Posted by Veronica Latham

“I am proud to be West Cumbrian born and bred, but it seems the next generation will be Carlisle born, West Cumbrian bred.”
