Louth Doctors not consulted on Louth services removal - Argus - June 16th 2010

" Dear Sir,
We as GP's wish to register our dissapointment and disillusionment at the removal of A&E services and acute hospital care fromt Louth County Hospital. The HSE had unilaterally decided to reduce its services in the north Louth area.
We as general practicitioners and gate keepers of the health service were ignored in any decision making process. We attended two meetings with HSE rep Dr Colm Quigley (Wexford County Physician) and were informed of the intended transformation process. The decision to remove A&E services and Acute Hospital Care from the Louth County Hospital was a fait compli. Our opinion was not considered. We had no influence on the decision making process. The removal of the A&E service and Acute Medical Care will result in increased hardship to the people of North Louth.
As GP's we will continue to provide the same level of service as previously. We have informed the HSE that we will not fill the void created by the loss of A&E and Acute Hospital Services in the north Louth area. Sincerely,
Declan Connolly David Connolly
