The future of services at the South West Acute Hospital (SWAH) was brought to the floor of the Northern Ireland Assembly last week during an adjournment debate led by local MLAs.
Sinn Féin MLA Jemma Dolan said SWAH had the potential to contribute much more to the health service than it currently does.
Advertisement“For the people of Fermanagh and Tyrone, SWAH is not just a hospital – it is a lifeline.
That is why the future of services at SWAH must be safeguarded, strengthened, and invested in.”oppositionShe pointed to the high quality maternity and stroke services already in place, while highlighting the opposition to the removal of emergency general surgery.
We need decisive political action to vindicate our community’s rights to timely access to life-saving surgery in an emergency situation.”
