BBC NI understands the proposed site is Antrim Area Hospital.
The Northern Health Trust has proposed moving Emergency General Surgery onto one hospital site most likely at Antrim Area Hospital.At Thursday’s trust board meeting, it sought permission to launch a 14-week public consultation on grounds that duplication across two sites means surgery is vulnerable.
It also said that staff recruitment, retention, skill mix and maintaining quality care must be a priority. BBC News NI understands that Antrim Area is the preferred option as it is the larger of the two hospitals. Making their case for change the Northern Trust said while there will be greater surgical activity in Antrim they have recently invested in Causeway with the new ambulatory unit and the move would ensure its future as a hub for general surgery.EGS looks after patients who require general surgical assessment, diagnosis or treatment in an unplanned way, often following presentation in the ED.
