A city councillor has called for Southern Trust heads to roll over a staff recrutiment crisis that he fears could soon result in people dying needlessly.
Newry, Mourne and Down District Council (NMDDC) passed a motion to request management of the Trust to be held accountable at a special meeting.
Major health concerns were raised at the council chambers on Monday night following recent news that Daisy Hill hospital could see ward beds being slashed from 107 to 40 as doctor numbers diminish through the summer months.
