To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to ensure the future viability of services provided by the NHS in West Cumbria. [98948]

The North Cumbria Health Authority, local National Health Service Trusts and the National Health Service Executive are presently reviewing the configuration of services prior to public consultation.

We are awaiting details of proposals which will address the issue of how the viability of services in West Cumbria may be best assured.
