Campaigners calling for the Southern Health Trust to save services at Daisy Hill Hospital have announced plans for a rally in Newry later this month after meeting with the Permanent Secretary in the Department of Health and the CEO of the Southern Health and Social Care Trust.
Save Our Services Daisy Hill will take to the streets on June 25 to call on the Trust to reverse a number of recently announced decisions including moving stroke services to Craigavon Area Hospital and reducing inpatient bed numbers at Daisy Hill.
Speaking to Belfast Live, former Chief Executive of Newry and Mourne District Council, Eddy Curtis from the SOS Daisy Hill campaign accused the Trust of playing games with people's lives.
