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.
