We, the undersigned, call upon the NHS to bring a new cancer treatment centre to Westmorland General Hospital in Kendal providing radiotherpy, chemotherepy and full clinical support. The lack of a local centre means that an unacceptably low proportion of people from south Cumbria survive cancer. It also means a stressful, arduous and often painful 100-mile roundtrip for patients from south Cumbria to recieve treatment. A Cancer Treatment centre in Kendal would save lives and improve the experience of treatment for cancer patients in south Cumbria.
Even if you've already signed this petition, you can use the printable petition sheet to collect more signatures from your friends and neighbours.
You could go door to door on your street or pass the sheet around at a local event. Good places to leave a few copies include shops, pubs, libraries, and post offices - but don't forget to collect them and send them back to us.
When complete, please return (as soon as possible) to: Tim Farron, Acland House, Yard 2, Stricklandgate, Kendal LA9 4ND.
