Text
I will write to the Member if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that a patient suffering a stroke can be stabilised at the Causeway Hospital and then transferred to the thrombectomy service in Belfast. I gently point out to the Member that, by his logic, he is calling for an acute hospital at the end of every street, and that is simply not affordable.
