Text
The people of Newry, south Down and south Armagh have heard the words "contingency" and "temporary measures" before, and they will be sceptical. Maternity services are vital, and any temporary removal of them will be rigorously challenged. The trust said that it intends to retain inpatient maternity services at Daisy Hill. Minister, what concrete guarantees can you give women, families and staff that there will be no permanent removal of inpatient maternity services at Daisy Hill?
