Council delegation to meet with Health Minister
A DELEGATION from Lisburn City Council will travel to Stormont next month to meet with Health Minister Edwin Poots to discuss the current situation at the Lagan Valley Hospital.
Representatives from each of the political parties on Lisburn City Council will met with the Minister on September 12 regarding the reduced opening hours of the Lisburn Hospital’s Accident and Emergency Department.
The Council has also agreed to write to the Northern Ireland Medical and Dental Training Agency asking them to make a presentation at a future meeting of the council regarding the recruitment of junior doctors, the lack of which has been blamed for the overnight closure of Lagan Valley’s A&E department.
