MP welcomes go aheadfor 24 hourhospital access
LAGAN Valley MP Jeffrey Donaldson has welcomed the news that the proposals to reinstate 24 hour access at Lagan Valley A&E have been approved by the South Eastern Health Trust Board.
“I am delighted that the Board have now approved the business plan put forward by the Trust and hopefully now this will clear the way for, not only the reinstatement of 24 hour cover at the Lagan Valley, but also an enhanced, integrated primary care and hospital service that will be for the benefit of everyone in the Lisburn area.”
He continued: “The aim is to get to the situation where if you walk into your GP and you need further examination, you will be able to do that in a much more efficient way without having to wait a long time for appointments.
“In the future hospital services will be better integrated with GPs at primary care level,” he concluded.
