Cherry Orchard Hospital heating update. 20/11/24

Last night, despite freezing temperatures, only two residents at Cherry Orchard Hospital were provided with plug-in heaters. This decision was made after repeated complaints from their families (on behalf of all residents)

The remaining residents in four multi-occupancy rooms were left without any heating.

When families realised this last night, they contacted the hospital, only to be initially told that their loved ones had heaters. However, upon further inspection, it was admitted that these residents had not received any heating despite freezing temperatures.

A meeting with hospital management today revealed a disturbing lack of care. When confronted about the heating issue, management claimed to have asked residents—many of whom lack the capacity to make such decisions—if they wanted a heater, to which they allegedly replied no. This is deeply concerning, especially for individuals with dementia living in an unheated facility.

While the heating is currently functional, management can not guarantee when the issue will be permanently resolved. Additionally, they admitted that family concerns, raised to the social worker, were not escalated to them for over a week.

Despite the temporary relief, the underlying problems remain. The relocation process last year, which forced residents out of their single comfortable rooms and resulted in a significant loss of life, raises serious questions about the hospital's priorities and decision-making. The financial investment in this unit, coupled with the ongoing failures to meet basic human needs, demands a thorough investigation.

Families remain unconvinced that the issues have been adequately addressed. The HSE's only commitment is to provide two hourly check-ins to ensure residents are warm. This is an unacceptable breach of human rights. Elderly and immobile individuals should not be subjected to such harsh conditions in their home, especially in the heart of winter.

Cherry Orchard Heating Update.

Despite repeated complaints over the past week, older patients at Cherry Orchard Hospital are still enduring cold conditions. Yesterday, after escalating the issue to higher levels within the HSE, the heating was temporarily restored. However, it has since failed again, leaving residents under blankets with some displaying symptoms of cold such as cough and sniffles. Residents, despite some having cognitive impairment, are expressing that they are cold.

In response to further complaints today, management provided duvets & Plug-in heaters ONLY to the rooms of the two families who raised the complaints on behalf of all the family group. The other four multi occupancy rooms have NO heater on a night like tonight of freezing temperatures. This is a shocking state of affairs, especially considering the 1.7 million euro investment in the unit to relocate patients from allegedly unsafe, warm, single-room accommodations.

We are demanding that heaters are provided to ALL rooms immediately.

The HSE has promised to resolve the heating issue by tomorrow, but families are sceptical, having heard similar assurances for a week. They are demanding immediate action and fear that another Christmas may be spent on picket lines due to the HSE's repeated failures.

Around where I live, most people know me as a doggy man. One thing about being a doggy man is that the dogs need walked and so I get out and about in my local community of West Belfast and I see lots of people in our community.

I've seen it change in my lifetime... 1/5
