Question:
To ask the Minister of Health, Social Services and Public Safety for his assessment of the future of the Causeway Hospital, following the publication of the Donaldson Report.

Answer:

The Northern Trust’s model for services in Causeway and the Glens area is based around an acute hospital in Coleraine with an Emergency Department and supporting clinical services, a well-developed intermediate care service and community teams evenly distributed across the area.

A public consultation has been launched on the Donaldson report and its recommendations to help inform future decisions. The closing date for this consultation is Friday 22 May 2015.
