@BarryMcAree @FermanaghS @fermanaghsos We are going to do all in our power to support our hospital.

@fermanaghsos #rurallives cannot be saved by Belfast trips or poor access. Caesarean births. Acute Appendicitis. EmergencySurgery not open to #westFermanagh will cost lives. @DenzilMcDaniel @FermanaghJulian @fermanaghomagh

@BarryMcAree @saveourswah @FermanaghS More meaningless gobbledy-gook. It's all great in theory but reality is people living here won't live to avail of your super-centralised (and super-profitable!) all-singing and dancing hospitals in the east.

Have you looked at a map? Then factor in the roads. DOA.

[Fermanagh SOS @fermanaghsos]

@GrumpyOldDoc @MariaFlynn1234 @mlchealth @RobinSwannMoH So Fermanagh will die. Do any of you actually know how far it is from say Belleek or Garrison to Altnagelvin or Craigavon.

Truth is you don't care. Truth is we don't matter or count.

But truth is we will not just lie down and accept our fate.

[Fermanagh SOS @fermanaghsos]

Campaign to defend our lifeline and save our acute health care services!

Altnagelvin and Craigavon are too far away. We are now literally in the fight of our lives.

Meeting at Fermanagh House 7pm tomorrow [Oct 20th]

[Fermanagh SOS @fermanaghsos]

South West Acute Hospital has the biggest #bedgap in NI - but it also has entire wards of beds mothballed despite the staggering PFI costs. The current crisis is because #Stormont has starved frontline staffing to pump-prime the private sector

[Fermanagh SOS @fermanaghsos]

SWAH is playing a vital role at this time. It must be protected for the future https://t.co/AkltYZlcVT

[Fermanagh SOS @fermanaghsos]

Solidarity to @saveourswah - set up by individuals who simply cared enough to get involved. Fermanagh SOS has benefited from their insights to help defend local NHS services.

So tonight there is no out of hours GP cover in Fermanagh. If you phone you’ll be told you can go to see a GP in Omagh or go to accident and emergency at SWAH. How’s this okay? @RobinSwannMoH

[Fermanagh SOS @fermanaghsos]

What were majority of councillors on @FermanaghOmagh doing? Hadn’t they read the document? Council is now silent in face of Health Dept not letting a good crisis go to waste to ‘reform’ i.e. cut and privatise local NHS services. No consultation needed.

@helenhamill Dangerous times when @healthdpt looks to take advantage of COVID 19 and impose their city-based transformation agenda on distracted public

[SaveOurSWAH Services @SOASsaveourswah]

Despicable. PLEASE speak in confidence by messaging Rodney or our FBpage. In total confidence.

[Rodney Edwards @rodneyedwards]

Horrified to learn that healthcare staff in Fermanagh have been warned not to speak to media if they have any concerns surrounding Covid-19. If you work in health here let me tell you: do not feel powerless or afraid. I am here to help you and I protect all my sources. DM me.

Update on @WesternHSCTrust Paediatric Service, which is described as "fine at present", but "will not be fine if a couple of staff go off".

Not very reassuring for staff/patients, let's hope the 'Regional Plan' will provide more certainty & secure vital services for our District

[Fermanagh SOS @fermanaghsos]

Urgent clarification needed from @WesternHSCTrust on these key services. Local parents are fearful that they will have to travel large distances during #Covid19 threat to visit children. Expectant mothers concerned that they will have to travel to Derry if premature.
