Watch the latest from ITV News - A Fermanagh campaign group is calling for Emergency general surgery to be re-installed at the South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen.

300+ delayed inductions of labour between Aug '23 & Oct '24 (170 deferred over 12 hrs), 57 planned C-sections beyond 12 hrs & yet we're told "it is part of the normal process for scheduled births to be delayed, if clinically safe to do so."

We were told in 2023 Antrim could cope, we are still being told the same.

The patients & staff we are consistently hearing from would tend to disagree.

Transfer of births from Causeway to Antrim was wrong in July 2023 & it's wrong now.
Are we to believe the transfer of Emergency Surgery would be different?

What a beautiful and inspirational tribute.

Possible reasons for the request for Western Trust to rethink general emergency surgery transformation:

📌Patient & clinical safety
📌Service equity
📌Access in accordance with the Rural Needs Act
📌Transparency
📌Strain on Altnagelvin

Traumatic birthing stories are increasingly coming to our attention following the first step in the "transformation" which transferred births from Causeway to Antrim Area Hospital.

📌We absolutely understand the pressures on the workforce on the ground, in a broken system. We appreciate the efforts of a workforce under stress, possibly experiencing staff shortages and burnout.

📌We have always highlighted the difficulty with a time limit on complaints regarding giving birth. Families are busy getting to grips with their new way of life and often attempting to deal with their experience in their own time. Many of the stories coming to us are over one year post-birth.

📌As NHSCT speak of this 'successful transformation' we believe in transparency. We believe it is important the level of concern is measurable in some way.

We therefore ask any one who has experienced a traumatic birth, since the transformation, or any member of staff to contact us.

📌You can contact us by messenger or email soscauseway@gmail.com. You can put your experience in writing or we can arrange a meeting or phone call. Confidentiality is extremely important to us. Please simply state if you wish to remain anonymous.

The timing of this decision, coinciding with staff notifications of impending budget cuts, has further inflamed concerns. "We are repeatedly told that these decisions are not financially driven," Ms. Brolly emphasised. "Yet, the reality paints a very different picture. If this removal of emergency surgery proceeds, it will not only cripple our healthcare infrastructure by removing that essential wheel, but it will also erase any ounce of trust that remains in the Trust and in the Department of Health. This is a level of damage that will be irreparable for generations."

Ms. Brolly concluded with a resolute message: "Let those responsible be under no illusion: SOS Causeway Hospital will continue to fight this with every fibre of our being. We will explore every avenue, escalate every concern, and mobilise every resource at our disposal to ensure that the healthcare needs of Causeway Coast and Glens are met, and that the trust of our community is not so callously betrayed."

📌If you wish to be present at the NHSCT Trust Board meeting this Thursday as they approve plans which will result in the removal of emergency surgery from Causeway Hospital, please email Karen.okane@northerntrust.hscni.net at your earliest convenience to register your attendance.

📌"The potential ramifications extend beyond the immediate loss of services. "The trust of service users will be shattered," MS. Brolly asserted, "and this betrayal will inevitably tarnish the reputations of the political representatives who have supported this decision, or worse, those who have sat idly by and allowed it to happen. We assure everyone involved, from decision-makers to silent observers, that SOS Causeway Hospital will not be deterred. The people of this region will not be patronised."👇🏻
