Jon Rush, chair of NHS North Cumbria CCG, said: “This annual event gives us the chance to update our community on our work over the last 12 months and this year we’ll be reflecting on the impact of COVID on our health and care services - what we have learned and will be keeping for the future. It’s important to ensure we regularly talk with our community about how things are working. It is only by working together that we’ll deliver the best health care for people in north Cumbria.”
