Local MP Tim Farron has backed a leading charity's call for people to receive the support they need to live well beyond breast cancer.
Tim recently with met with representatives from Breast Cancer Now in Parliament to support the launch of their new Care After Breast Cancer campaign.
A survey by the charity found that of almost 3,000 women with primary breast cancer, two fifths (41%) did not receive the professional support they needed to cope with the long-term effects of the disease.
South Lakes MP Tim Farron has urged the Government to deliver a support package to farmers that provides additional feed and access to emergency water supplies during the current drought.
In a letter to the Farming Minister, George Eustice, Tim said the weather is having a devastating impact on animal welfare and causing severe financial strain because farmers are having to buy in feed.
South Lakes MP Tim Farron has warned that a new price drop in medicine payments could potentially see the end for local community pharmacies, after years of heavy Government cuts to the industry.
Last month, the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee announced that there would be a 17p-per-item price drop, which would lead to community pharmacies losing around £1,200 a year.
Reacting to the news that on the day that they tried reintroducing full services on the two South Cumbrian railways lines, Northern have cancelled 7 trains already this morning on the Furness Line, local MP Tim Farron said:
"We said last week that this had all the hallmarks of Northern biting off more than they can chew and sadly we've been proved right.
