Prof Mark Taylor November 2022 BBC The View

Our Surgical workforce of 6 Doctors collapsed- without replacement recruitment.

Not since May 2021 has there been an attempt to recruit any Consultant Surgeon to South West Acute Hospital.

and yet we never even retrospectively attempted to risk assess

• The resultant impact for patients

• The resultant impact on staffing

• The resultant impact on the safety and staffing of other clinical inter-dependencies….other specialist services which were expected to become vulnerable….

• The capacity of Altnagelvin to absorb this tsunami of SWAH case-loads.

we should matter more.

we DO matter more.
