“The situation is critical, and many other practices in our council area are similarly endangered'
Additional staff has been hired at the under pressure Dromore and Trillick GP practice in Co Tyrone after the Western Trust took over the contract for the surgeries.
Western Health and Social Care Trust Chief Executive Neil Guckian informed members: “We were asked at short notice by the Department of Health, to take on the contract for provision of GP services until March 31, 2023.

Independent Councillor Josephine Deehan said the Trust’s takeover of the contract had provided “great relief”, as it had been a source of serious concern in the community. Councillor Deehan enquired how the timescale afforded by the interim contract could enable the working out of a more sustainable provision, and sought further details around governance arrangements.
“I have one GP whose role is to act as an interface with primary care. To remove her from that to a clinical governance role is not in anybody’s interest.
