Westmorland General Hospital

Maternity services were suspended at the Helme Chase unit in May due to staff shortages, but a amount of midwifery vacancies have now been filled

The Westmorland General Hospital's Surgical Hub will act as a complete treatment centre, where patients can be scanned and receive treatment all in one place.
