Councillors and Western Trust officials clashed at a meeting of Fermanagh and and Omagh District Council's Health Subcommittee on Friday as tensions over services at the South West Acute Hospital continue to rise.
A public consultation is currently underway about the future of emergency general surgery at the hospital, while concerns have been raised about consultant staffing levels in the obstetrics and gynaecology department as well.
There were tense exchanges during the meeting as Chair, Councillor John Coyle SDLP, stood firm on criticism of the handling of the staffing crisis which led to a clash with the Trust's medical director.
