Every hospital service the Southern Trust centralises to Craigavon from Daisy Hill Acute hospital, Newry makes it nearly impossible for the Ambulance Service to respond within acceptable time limits. The Southern Trust state in their Delivery Plan (Draft) 2015/16 it is not applicable to them that 72.5% of Category A ( Life Threatening) calls are responded to within 8 minutes by ambulances.

The Southern Trust’s attitude of get there whatever way you can to access hospital services both to the population of Newry and the Greater Newry and Mourne, Area of Banbridge and Armagh, and to Ambulance Personnel must be questioned. The Southern Trust need to address this urgently. They take no responsibility that every hospital service the Southern Trust centralises to Craigavon from Daisy Hill Acute hospital, Newry makes it nearly impossible for the Ambulance Service to respond within acceptable time limits.The diagram shows the vast area the Ambulance Service must cover to bring patients to only one acute Hospital in Craigavon, in the most Northern Area of the Southern Trust.

Act Now for Daisy Hill Hospital, Newry

Daisy Hill Hospital, Newry & Craigavon Hospital, Portadown Plans on NI planning Portal

Important hospital planning news: One refurbished ward for Daisy Hill, Newry and a new stand-alone Paediatric Unit in Craigavon – the start of Craigavon’s NEW HOSPITAL master-plan.

Southern Health Trust’s proposed plan for Craigavon’s new hospital and centralised children’s hospital services in Newry & Mourne, Armagh, Dungannon, South Tyrone, Banbridge and Craigavon is now at Planning Stage. Todd Architect’s proposed plan states: “The new stand-alone paediatric unit is the first building project in a proposed phased MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT for the Craigavon HOSPITAL SITE.. positioned as a gateway to the NEW HOSPITAL future entrance.”

Daisy Hill Hospital has been announced in the press as a proposed new Centre of excellence for Children but a comparison of the two Plans reveal that Daisy Hill is proposed a 19 bed re-development of the existing stroke ward on Level 6 to change to a children’s ward – while Craigavon Plan proposes a new stand-alone building with a Paediatric Unit with 5 consultants offices and more.

8,000 people unite to support Daisy Hill Acute Hospital Rally

Save Daisy Hill Hospital Campaign Rally today had a brilliant turn out from the people of Newry & Mourne today with all the community united in support of the Hospital.  8,000 people (PSNI estimate) showed their support by a Rally followed by a march to Daisy Hill Acute Hospital where the Mayor of Newry & Mourne Council, Daire Hughes handed in a letter to the Southern Trust on behalf of the people.

Thank you to everyone who came out in person and all those who support the campaign but were unable to attend today.  The campaign continues! We can save Daisy Hill for Life!  There is still time for the Southern Trust and Southern Commissioning Group to rescind the decision to remove stroke services from Daisy Hill and transport services to Craigavon Hospital.
