Castlegate and Derwent Surgery in Cockermouth (No. 2)

Motion Text

That this House notes with concern the growing loss of public confidence in the Castlegate and Derwent GP Practice in Cockermouth, which serves over 18,500 patients; acknowledges long-standing issues detailed in successive Care Quality Commission inspections in 2023, 2024 and 2025, which gave an overall rating of "Requires Improvement", with serious concerns highlighted across safety, responsiveness and leadership; regrets the continued breakdown of trust within the partnership; and expresses deep concern that public confidence in the delivery of high-quality primary care has been severely undermined.
