Public invited to attend events on hospital reconfiguration framework

The Department of Health is inviting people to attend a series of public events as part of the consultation on the hospital reconfiguration framework.
The consultation, “Hospitals – Creating a Network for Better Outcomes”, was launched on 2 October and sets out the key principles to underpin service reorganisation.
The aim of the consultation is to address a number of areas including the need for hospital reconfiguration, how hospitals can work together for better outcomes, where services are and how people can get the services they need in a sustainable way.
The event specific to the Northern Trust will be held on Wednesday 5 February from 7-9pm, at the Tullyglass Hotel in Ballymena.
Online events are taking place for those unable to attend in person.
Friday 7 February 11am-1pm (hosted by Rural Community Network in association with Department of Health)
Tuesday 11 February 7-9pm and Wednesday 12 February 2.30-4.30pm (Hosted by Department of Health)
The meetings will provide information about the proposals, answer questions from the public, and encourage participation in the consultation process.
Registration for those wishing to attend is now open.
The consultation deadline has now been extended until 28 February 2025.
