DOCTOR FIRST
There are times when a visit to A & E is the most appropriate, however some people visit A & E in Carlisle with a minor illness such as a cough or sore throat!
These types of inappropriate visits to A & E waste over £250,000 a year.
This money could be better spent on improving local health services for you and your family, ensuring more people get the care and treatment they need, closer to home.
If you feel unwell and can't self care at home, contact your GP Surgery or local pharmacy
