A PARLIAMENTARY candidate for Barrow and Furness has welcomed investment into health services in the area.
Simon Fell, who represents the Conservatives in the area, said claims the NHS was not being backed were off the mark.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has recently announced an extra £1.8bn for the NHS on top of the £33.9bn committed for the service in 2023 to 24.
Barrow and Furness has recently seen big investment into the NHS locally with £12m for the Alfred Barrow Health Centre, and another £12m for the birthing centre at the Furness General Hospital.
Mr Fell said: “I am very pleased to see extra investment being put into the NHS both locally and nationally. This Government has pledged to continue to invest in the NHS at record levels. Locally we are already seeing the effects with the Alfred Barrow Health Centre nearing completion, and with the new birthing centre."
