A pregnant woman says maternity services moving from Coleraine to Antrim will negatively impact expectant mothers in rural communities.
A pregnant woman has said maternity services moving from Coleraine to Antrim will negatively impact expectant mothers in rural communities.She said pregnant women in her local area will now face a drive of more than an hour to get to Antrim Area Hospital.
The Northern Health Trust had recommended that all births in the area should permanently move to the Antrim site. The recommendation was made by the trust's board following a 14-week public consultation. "Many people, especially those on low incomes, don't have access to a car or even know someone with a car so would need to rely on public transport - what if it was an emergency? How is that fair?"The Northern Trust said birth numbers in the Causeway Coast and Glens area have declined year-on-year
"All of this is adding unnecessary anxiety to expectant mothers, there are many women who are concerned about this," she added. "I'm devastated the wonderful service they worked so hard to create for mums is being stripped away," she said.
