2012 – Mr Poots speaks clearly on the needs of the population in South West area.

“It is essential we WILL have good quality healthcare at that local level.

So we will have maternity services

we will have emergency surgery.

Those key things will be taking place at this facility

with accident & emergency and diagnostics…”

• the need still exists!

• the HOSPITAL – our hospital still exists.

• What an abject failure to achieve intentions and to sustain services here.
