The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service and the Western Health and Social Care Trust have denied claims from a campaign group that a patient died during an ambulance transfer between the South West Acute Hospital and Altnagelvin since December 2022.
The claim was published on a Twitter account run by the Save Our Acute Services campaign group, who have been fighting against the suspension of emergency general surgery at the Co Fermanagh hospital.
The services have been suspended there since December, amid a public consultation on the issue whose results are to be announced later this year.
