The Western Trust has recruited a locum consultant to act as a replacement for a recently retired consultant pending the recruitment of a permanent placement.

Asked by DUP MLA George Robinson for an update on the recruitment process to fill posts in clinics at the Roe Valley Hospital the Minister stated: "The Western Health and Social Care Trust is responsible for the recruitment of its staff and recruits as necessary to fill vacancies.

"The Trust has advised me that there are no nursing vacancies in Roe Valley at the present time. As a Consultant Dermatologist has retired, a locum Consultant dermatologist has now been secured and will commence work within the next week."
