A protest is to take place this weeked in response to the Department of Health’s decision to shelve plans for a new mental health unit in Omagh.
There was anger locally after the Department’s decision this month to prioritise funding for new mental health units in the Northern and South Eastern trusts over the proposed Western Trust facility.
A local mental health support group has organised the weekend protest to call on Health minister Robin Swann to progress the new unit at the Omagh Hospital.
