Current COVID pressures

Our Health and Care Systems; including our sector; across Cumbria are currently experiencing high levels of demand on their services and high levels of staff absence due to the rapid spread of OMICRON. As a result, a number of services are becoming very fragile and there is significant concern that service quality and capacity may begin to be impacted.

We are keen to understand how the current issues are impacting on your service provision and ability to continue to deliver your services safely.

If your organisation is experiencing problems and you are happy to share some basic information about the issues you are facing, please could you respond to our SURVEY.
