Jump To Comment: 1Mr Nelson McCausland was featured on every television and radio station this morning on what he called a 'Human Rights & Equality Issue' regarding his call to have among other things, inclusion of 'Ulster-Scots and Creation' within The Ulster Museum.
People of the Mid Ulster Area are living in fear for their lives and especially that of their children after Mr Michael McGimpsey brought the axe down on The Mid Ulster Hospital leaving 700sq miles of Northern Ireland and 95,000 residents without A&E provision or care for under 5's at Mid Ulster Hospital. Residents of the Mid Ulster Area in some cases can expect a journey time now estimated at approx 'One Hour' to reach the already over-stretched Antrim Area Hospital and the horror stories coming from that hospital in the past week are just shocking to say the least.
In an example emergency situation an under 5 with suspected meningitis could have received life saving treatment at Mid Ulster Hospital only one week ago but now their parents are being forced to travel one hour to Antrim Area Hospital like second class citizens which is just NOT ACCEPTABLE! Will it take the death of a child before someone stands up here and says enough is enough? Mr McGimpsey can sit in his office and shuffle papers all day long, quote figures and look sympathetic but the fact of the matter is the emergency cover in Mid Ulster is just not adequate for anyone, especially children under 5 and the residents are clearly being discriminated against, which cannot be accepted.
Residents of the Mid Ulster Area are seeing Mr McGimpsey's move as nothing less than clear discrimination against a rural area outside of the 'Golden Circle' of Belfast services. People are asking 'Do the people of Mid Ulster have equality of opportunity for health care? I think not. The depth of feeling among the people is just disbelief as they feel they have been discriminated against by their Health Minister, let down and left to fend for themselves by their elected representatives and neglected by the press as the facts of the true impact and scale of what Mr McGimspey and his henchmen have done to Mid Ulster is just not making the headlines they deserve?
Still today almost four days on from the snap closure of the Mid Ulster A&E, signage is still directing people to a service which just does not exist. Mr McGimpsey's office are clearly and legally in breach of their own 'Public Safety Laws' and people would ask, 'If anyone has died as a direct result of delays in medical intervention due to this misleading signage can the 'Minister' himself and 'The Northern Health Trust' have criminal charges brought against them for manslaughter and will they indeed be prosecuted for this clear failure in 'Public Safety'?
Just Not Good Enough!
Below you will see the map of A&E provision for Northern Ireland. Is it just me or can anyone else see a BIG gaping hole in the middle of that map apart for Lough Neagh.
At their further points No5 New Enniskillen Hospital to No7 Causeway Hospital Coleraine is 77.6 Miles & is estimated journey time is 2 Hours 11mins. No6 Altnagelvin Hospital to No8 Craigavon Area Hospital is 66.2 Miles & estimated journey time is 1Hour 43 mins. No6 Altnagelvin Hospital to No3 Antrim Area Hospital is 53.7 Miles & estimated journey time is 1Hour 9mins.
