Text

Minister, I welcome the significant increase in activity at the South West Acute Hospital and the planned further expansion that you have outlined. I particularly welcome the increased gynae work and the focus on women's health. Do you agree that that demonstrates the important contribution that the SWAH and its maximisation can make not only for patients in Fermanagh but as part of the overall effort to tackle Northern Ireland's unacceptable waiting lists? Will you continue to support the further development of services at the site?
