A public meeting is to take place in Enniskillen on Thursday evening as fears over the loss of emergency surgery services at the South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen escalate this week.
The Western Health and Social Care Trust said on Monday it was putting plans in place for the potential loss of the service due to ongoing problems recruiting surgeons for the Co Fermanagh hospital.
The Trust is funded for six consultant surgeons to provide the service and currently has three consultant surgeons, supported by locums.
