The South West Acute Hospital will have its emergency surgery service suspended from December 18, the Western Trust has confirmed.
“We can confirm that our Trust Board approved today to a recommendation for an unplanned temporary suspension of Emergency General Surgery at the SWAH, Enniskillen. This is necessary to protect public health/safety.” “SWAH has a very busy Emergency Department, fantastic facilities and a wide range of very vibrant specialities.

With the news of the withdrawal now confirmed, SDLP councillor for Enniskillen Paul Blake said the way the Trust has handled the crisis has been inadequate.
