SoS Causeway Hospital

Well said Adele and Clíodhna!👏👏
Let's look at the evidence & consider the alternatives, with transparency!
Not forgetting of course, there is evidence in other areas of how this panned out. Just ask SoS Daisy Hill Hospital and Save Our Acute Services.

Thank you to Adele and all those in the community who spoke strongly, advocating for Causeway Hospital.
We will continue to shout from the rooftops...
EGS must remain in Causeway Hospital. Other alternatives ARE available!

📢WATCH THURSDAY'S HEALTH COMMITTEE MEETING!
SOS Causeway Hospital welcome the new Health Minister. We particularly welcome questioning yesterday via this committee meeting and thank all who contributed.
While this is lengthy, we ask the public to watch (particularly from 28 mins on) as this further consolidates much of what we have consistently raised. Link ⬇️

We look forward to further thorough examination, communication and publication of solid evidence prior to any decision.

⚠️UPDATE
We will not stand by while attempts are made to minimise and patronise our campaign. We base our decisions on robust evidence, and we expect the Northern Health and Social Care Trust Board to do the same, especially when dealing with matters of life and death.
​Throughout this process, we have consistently asked for clinical, operational, financial and demographic evidence.

In addition, we continue to work to give voice to healthcare staff who have been afraid to speak out or who attempted to speak truth to power, only to be told to remain silent.

Well said Irene 👏👏

With Robbie Butler now taking up the Health Minister position, we will continue to make the case for Causeway and ensure the voices of staff and the local community are heard

As we said at our recent public meeting:

“Our health service needs reform. But reform does not have to mean removing services from local hospitals and concentrating even more pressure on Antrim.”

The campaign to protect the acute services at Causeway continues.

Dr Fergal Tracey speaks to BBC regarding the proposal to remove EGS from Causeway Hospital.

Gemma Brolly referenced ambulance cover today.
Between 1st August 2025 & 31st July 2026 Coleraine experienced 165 days below cover;
Ballycastle experienced 147 days below cover & 28 days with no cover & Ballymoney experienced 130 days below planned cover with 4 days of no cover.

Considering ambulance cover is just 1 critical aspect of what would be necessary to ensure the transformation of EGS is safe and effective, HOW can senior officials deem this as the best solution, with NO PLAN B?

Unbelievable.

A patient needing emergency surgical care was forced to wait more than 16 hours for an ambulance to move them to another facility over 50 miles away, it has emerged.
