WHSCT talks on Causeway takeover
THE Western Trust has discussed the possible transfer of the Causeway Hospital under its control with the Health and Social Care board (HSCB).
Health Minister Edwin Poots said he has had no discussions with the Western Health and Social Care Trust on the option to transfer the Causeway Hospital personally.
But he stated: “The issue has however been discussed between my Department, the Health and Social Care Board and the Trust.”
He said a public consultation on the proposed changes emerging from Transforming Your Care is currently underway and will continue until January 15, 2013.
“The consultation document sets out three options in regard to the future networking arrangements involving the Causeway, including the option that the Causeway would become the responsibility of the Western Trust,” he stated.
“The aim is to ensure the future provision of safe, sustainable and resilient services for the population of the area. The options need to be considered carefully and the current consultation exercise provides the opportunity for everyone to give their views.”
