CAMPAIGN group Save Our Acute Services (SOAS) will hold a public meeting tonight (Thursday). 

The meeting will take place at Fermanagh House at 7pm, and will focus on an ongoing review by the The Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA).

Local people, including healthcare staff, are invited to share their views and experiences regarding South West Acute Hospital (SWAH). 

The RQIA review centres around pathways associated with the temporary suspension of Emergency General Surgery at SWAH. 

As part of this work, the authority is engaging with staff in the Western Health and Social Care area to seek their views and experiences of these pathways. 

A spokeswoman from SOAS describes tonight's meeting as "urgent".

There is an ongoing review being done by RQIA," she said. 

"They need to hear the voices of staff and patients - not uniquely at SWAH - but all across the Western Trust."
