“The Health Committee met with staff in Paediatric and Adult theatres, the Ambulatory Unit, the Elective Overnight Stay Centre, and the Acute Care at Home service”.

The Sinn Féin MLA continued, "Daisy Hill is leading the way in many of these areas of healthcare, and this really demonstrates just how crucial the hospital is not just in delivering for the people living locally, but for people right across the North and indeed the rest of Ireland.”

Concluding, the Newry and Armagh MLA said, "I am determined to ensure we continue to build on the great things happening at Daisy Hill, staff and management have indicated there is so much more they could do with the resources that will help in our efforts to fix our health service and they must be supported to do that."
