Fermanagh and Omagh District Council has unanimously backed calls for a public inquiry into the handling of the public consultation into the removal of emergency general surgery at the South West Acute Hospital.
In the last full council meeting ahead of fresh elections next month, the call for a fully independent public inquiry into the Western Health and Social Care Trust’s handling of the situation at the Enniskillen hospital was passed.
Emergency general surgery at the hospital has been suspended since 5 December after the Trust said it could not recruit the adequate number of surgeons to fulfil the rota.
