Councillors in Fermanagh and Omagh District Council have criticised the Western Trust over its handling of access to GP services in the area.
The local health trust’s chief executive Neil Guckian responded to a request for more information from the council on what is being done to secure space for additional Primary Care teams at Omagh hospital and Irvinestown health centre.
In the letter, Guckian said the Trust was still committed to the provision of ‘shell space’ for the four GP practices in Omagh hospital, but said this was being reviewed due to a lack of space at the facility.
