Elliott welcomes Hospital Announcement
Fermanagh and South Tyrone assemblyman Tom Elliott has welcomed the recent announcement by the Health Minister, Paul Goggins, that outline planning permission has been granted for the new acute hospital on the outskirts of Enniskillen.
In a statement the Ulster Unionist MLA said: “There has been great uncertainty regarding health service provision in the west and slowly the issue is being addressed. The announcement by the minister is the next step in the process and is to be welcomed, I trust that this hospital project can continue from here unhindered
Tom concluded by saying: “Communities in the west of the Province feel increasingly marginalised as services such as schools and post offices move to larger towns. The provision of health services cannot be centralised to such an extent, the planned acute hospital near Enniskillen should help redress this matter.”
