DAISY HILL HOSPITAL CAMPAIGN HIGHLIGHTS OF 2023 ( Updated! )

SOS Daisy Hill Hospital Committee Public Rally in Newry on 25 June 2023

As 2023 draws to a close, we thought it fitting to remember a very special stand out event from the Daisy Hill Hospital Campaign in 2023 – by returning to the SOS Daisy Hill Hospital Committee Public Rally in Newry on 25 June 2023 to feature some of the speeches spoken from the platform.

Over 10,000 men, women and children came out to support SOS Daisy Hill Hospital Committee by gathering in Marcus Square for speeches and then a people’s march up to Daisy Hill Hospital, applause for the staff and a walk right around the hospital complex to form a “ring of steel” of people.

A number of excellent speakers spoke to the assembled crowd at the Rally in Marcus Square, and audio of three of the speakers is available here – Pls click on the links to listen:

Francis Gallagher Chairperson of SOS Daisy Hill Hospital Committee

Tanya Killen President of NIPSA (Northern Ireland Public Service Association)

Deborah Yapicioz UNISON

Eddy Curtis SOS Daisy Hill Hospital Committee

As we remember that day and listen to some of the available inspirational speeches, is a reminder of the enthusiasm, strength of feeling and determination that exists in the community and beyond to continue to challenge unfair decisions like the removal of core emergency services and beds and the failure of the Southern Trust and others to properly invest, plan or recruit for Daisy Hill Acute Area Hospital, Newry.

The words and actions of this Public Rally in June encourage us to look forward with positivity and with determination for the future of Daisy Hill Acute Hospital in 2024.

Summed up by Mr Eddy Curtis from SOS Daisy Hill Hospital Committee from the Rally platform that day, here are some extracts from his speech:

“We have to continue battling and fighting and putting our best foot forward – to say the people of Newry & Mourne and South Armagh will not accept anything less than an international quality of health that you deserve.

We are asking all families and their children to lead the parade, because at the end of the day – they are the future of our region and they are the people who are going to need health services.

We are going to walk right round the hospital – to put a ring of steel on it and let them see– it’s ours – you cannot touch it – you have to invest in it.”
Eddy Curtis (SOS Daisy Hill Hospital Committee)

WANT TO HELP DAISY HILL? YOU CAN – IF YOU REPLY TO THIS HSC CONSULTATION

Will Daisy Hill Hospital be left out again if HSC Trusts have more power? Make sure Daisy Hill isn't missing from the Network - Help shape the future, reply to the HSC Framework Consultation by 4th December 2020.

WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT REMOVAL OF ACUTE SERVICES FROM DAISY HILL ACUTE HOSPITAL, NEWRY?

Whether it’s the Type 1 ED, Specialist Stroke Unit and even vital CT scanners – it’s a Tug of War with the Southern Trust. FINALLY NOW – here’s something we can do. We have an address and an opportunity to air our views as part of a Department of Health Framework Consultation. So we MUST USE THIS OPPORTUNITY –as Daisy Hill needs us!

During the Covid pandemic, at a days notice, (without providing a nearby alternative) the Southern Trust removed Daisy Hill Acute Hospital’s 24/7 Type 1 ED services and staff to provide 3 EDs in Craigavon Hospital – one Covid 19, one non Covid 19 and a new Children’s ED.

YOU CAN HELP shape the future, and ensure Daisy Hill isn’t missing from the Regional network as Northern Ireland Rebuilds during and after covid-19 by replying to the ‘Temporary Amendments to the HSC Framework Document’ Consultation, by this Friday 4th December 2020, 5pm.

The Consultation Documents along with info on how to respond can be read in full at: www.health-ni.gov.uk/consultations/HSCframework (Additionally Consultation Links are available at the end of this article.)

IMPORTANT ASPECTS DIGESTED

The Department of Health (NI) has made temporary changes to the 2011 Health and Social Care (HSC) Framework Document where it describes the Role and Responsibilities of HSC bodies .So, the Consultation asks :

If we agree with ‘temporary’ amendments needed to change these roles and responsibilities. Although they frame it as an “administrative” change it will mean HSC Trusts will have MORE POWER than before.

2. If we agree with their decision to establish a ‘new’ Management Board for Rebuilding HSC Services in NI (which has been in operation since June 2020 without consultation, until now).

A Clear future for Daisy Hill Acute Hospital - Newry city

TRUSTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE GO AHEAD TO REBUILD AND EXPAND SERVICES WHERE THEY WANT.

The only function of Trusts before was as a ‘provider’ of hospital and community services. But as part of these amendments to the 2011 Framework Document in this Consultation – the role of Trusts is now elevated. Trusts are now responsible for assessing their population needs, planning to meet those needs and delivering ‘appropriate’ services in whatever location or hospital they deem appropriate.

If these changes to the 2011 HSC Framework Document go through according to this current Consultation, the Southern Trust will have the loudest voice influencing the future of Daisy Hill.

This will have a huge impact on all ED and specialist inpatient acute hospital services (including children’s services) in Daisy Hill Hospital, Newry as well as Capital investment shaping the future of Daisy Hill acute Hospital for good. Can you help?

PLEASE ENSURE DAISY HILL PART OF NI REBUILDING PLANS NOW – REPLY TO THE CONSULTATION

Nearly £7 billion has been allocated to the Department of Health and the Southern Trust handle over £800 million – we are entitled to our share of this. If we lose services in these Rebuilding Plans for two years to May 2022 we will not get them back. You can Reply to the Consultation to give your views and ensure Daisy Hill, Newry is part of the NI Health and Social Care Rebuilding Plans at both a Regional and local level.

As Health Minister Robin Swann MLA rightly stated at the 10th Annual Nicon Conference 2020

“Whilst we must face the challenges that lie ahead, we must also continue to rebuild; to transform our services in a way that ensures they are here for those who need them today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.”
Robin Swann MLA (10th Annual Nicon Conference 2020)

Newry & Mourne is projected to be the 3rd highest population in NI by 2025 and presently has the 3rd highest population of children in the whole of NI after only Belfast and greater Belfast.

We are entitled to the same investment as Altnagelvin. We must speak up for ourselves as we have seen that the Southern Trust priorities are not with Daisy Hill

We have to respond to this Consultation and speak up for ourselves, our children and their children to ensure retention and expansion of acute specialist acute services (including children’s services) in Daisy Hill acute Hospital in NI HSC Rebuilding plans NOW.

Ways to Respond

Dont forget the deadline is this Friday 4th December 2020, 5pm.

You can reply using the Online Consultation page available at: https://consultations.nidirect.gov.uk/doh-healthcare-policy-group/temporary-amendments-to-the-health-and-social-care/

Which ever you prefer. But please do take part – do it for your family, the future of Daisy Hill, for those who cant take part themselves and for generations to come. Full instructions for responding to this Consultation are available on the Department of Health’s website at: www.health-ni.gov.uk/consultations/HSCframework

Nearly £7 billion has been allocated to the Department of Health and the Southern Trust handle over £800 million – we are entitled to our share of this. If we lose services in these Rebuilding Plans for two years to May 2022 we will not get them back. There has been a hospital in Newry for 175 years – NO ONE IS ENTITLED TO TAKE IT AWAY.

Just as in the Western Trust (with a total population of 301,448*) there is need for TWO Specialist Acute Stroke Units - so too, the Southern Trust (with a larger population of 380,312*) is also entitled to TWO Specialist Stroke Units (HASUs and Acute Stroke Units), at Daisy Hill Hospital, Newry and Craigavon Hospital. This would ensure that everyone in the Southern Trust has immediate access to CT scanning and life saving thrombolysis, followed by direct access into a stroke unit.

NI Health Crisis – Cut in Specialist Acute Hospitals & their Uneven spread since 1995 is a major factor

Nurses and Health Workers in N. Ireland strike for pay parity, safe staffing levels Dec2019

2019 ended with Northern Ireland’s Health Care in crisis: Patient Waiting lists at record highs, healthcare workers on strike over pay and staffing levels, Nurses from the Royal College of Nursing on strike for the first time in its 103 year history. This ‘crisis’ is recognised by the Royal College of Surgeons, the Royal College of Nursing and Health Unions

NI Nurses and Health Workers province-wide strike January 2020

Health Care workers on strike here have been short changed in comparison with the rest of the UK, on pay and staffing levels. But in terms of Acute Hospital Care, are people in Northern Ireland being treated fairly in the number and location of specialist acute hospitals?

Before NI can start to fix the current Health Care Crisis –some background is necessary to find out how it got to this point.

There were 19 Acute hospitals in NI in 1995 as the map below, reproduced from The Department of Health’s Regional Strategy (1997 – 2002) shows.

Hospital map Northern Ireland with populations 1995 -shows acute hospitals.

According to the Department of Health:

“If the ratio of acute hospitals to population which currently obtains in England were applied to Northern Ireland (1,649,131 in 1995) there would be no more than 10 acute hospitals in NI. Thus many acute hospitals in NI serve much smaller populations than acute hospitals in England.”
Dept. of Health for Northern Ireland Regional Strategy (1997 – 2002)

Direct Rule Health Minister Mr Moss stated in a Hansard Report 5 March 1997:

“The Department’s Regional Strategy for 1997 to 2002 was published last year and envisaged specialised acute hospital services being built around the cornerstone of Northern Ireland’s six major hospitals- the Royal Victoria hospital, the Belfast City hospital, Craigavon, Antrim, Altnagelvin and the Ulster.”

It clearly states also that:

“While investment where appropriate will be made in other hospitals, it is expected that those SIX HOSPITALS will provide the main focus for FUTURE INVESTMENT in INPATIENT FACILITIES.”
Dept. of Health for Northern Ireland Regional Strategy (1997 – 2002) p65

These 6 hospitals out of 19 hospitals were envisaged as specialist acute hospitals, because of hospital size, NOT based on where the largest settlements of population lived, compared to England who the strategy stated would have 10 hospitals for a population the size of NI (1,649,131). The mid-year 1995 NISRA populations (Table) prove this.

They show that Daisy Hill acute Hospital, Newry & Mourne LGD – the FOURTH largest population (84,035) in NI, and Lisburn LGD (106,583), the SECOND Largest population in NI were COMPLETELY IGNORED for consideration as one of 6 major acute hospitals, while 3 other acute hospitals serving SMALLER populations in the local Government Districts of Craigavon, (population 77,689) Antrim (48,489), and Castlereagh (64,616) were listed for preservation.

investment in hospital buildings, acute specialist hospital services, hospital beds and specialist medical staff is needed in the Newry & Mourne area, in Daisy Hill Acute Hospital, including in the Emergency Department.

New investment in acute specialist hospital services, hospital beds and specialist medical staff is due in the Newry & Mourne area, in Daisy Hill Acute Hospital, including in the Emergency Department.

Accurate population demographics, as provided by NISRA must inform health planning and future investment in inpatient facilities across NI

This trend of ignoring population size has continued into the present (as the next post will show), so to truly combat the Northern Ireland wide health crisis – ACCURATE DEMOGRAPHICS provided by NI Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) must inform health planning. This includes using these official statistics, as presented by NISRA to determine WHERE Specialist acute Hospitals and specialist inpatient and outpatient acute services are located.

Acute Hospital accommodation and services are paid for through Rates and Taxes by everyone, irrespective of where they live in NI – Urban or Rural, everyone is entitled to equality of access to Hospital Care.

Further posts will look at the present and future NI Demographics in relation to location of acute hospital provision.

Official statistics, as presented by NISRA must determine where Specialist acute Hospitals are located in NI.

BACKGROUND

Future of Hospitals in Northern Ireland

Image courtesy of jscreationzs at FreeDigitalPhotos.net

The Donaldson Report feature on DHSSPSNI

Take notice! Is Northern Ireland a democracy or not? The future of all hospitals in Northern Ireland is being decided. It seems Lord Donaldson expects the Northern Ireland public to pay an international panel of experts ( picked by who?) to sort out the hospital and healthcare needs of nearly 2 million people, without question from anybody. This Report implies that our devolved government and MLAs should have no say on the future of our hospitals and that all decisions should be made without their (and consequently the electorates) say.

The Patient and Client council gives a summary of Recommendation 1 of Donaldson Report: “Recommendation 1: Coming together for world-class care”- “We recommend that all political parties and the public accept in advance the recommendations of an impartial international panel of experts who should be commissioned to deliver to the Northern Ireland population the configuration of health and social care services commensurate with ensuring world-class standards of care.”

The DHSSPS states – “You are now invited to share your views on the recommendations from the Donaldson Report.” –Responses must be received no later than Friday 22 May 2015.

Background info from DHSSPS:

“On 8 April 2014 former Health Minister Edwin Poots announced his intention to commission former Chief Medical Officer of England, Professor Sir Liam Donaldson, to advise on the improvement of governance arrangements across the HSC.

Sir Liam was subsequently tasked with investigating whether an improvement in the quality of governance arrangements is needed and whether the current arrangements support a culture of openness, learning and making amends.

Sir Liam’s report was published by Minister Jim Wells on 27 January 2014 in conjunction with an Oral Statement to the Assembly. The report set out ten recommendations which refer to a wide range of areas across the health service.”
