Hundreds sign up to Facebook group
HUNDREDS of people have signed up to a new Facebook group campaigning to keep the Accident and Emergency department at the Lagan Valley Hospital open 24 hours a day.
The group, which was started by former Lisburn Councillor David Archer, has been set up to give local people a voice over the reduced opening hours at the A&E unit and they are certainly making their voices heard.
People in the group are expressing anger and outrage over the decision by the South Eastern Trust to limit the opening hours with many heated discussions taking place since the group was established on Tuesday.
The group - ‘Keep Lagan Valley Hospital’s A&E Open 24/7’ - can be found online at www.facebook.com.
