Emergency general surgery is to be temporarily withdrawn from South West Acute Hospital (SWAH) in Enniskillen, the Western Health Trust has said.
The trust said this was necessary to protect the public’s safety.
Despite saying the move was temporary, the Western Trust did not say when it expected emergency general surgery would resume.
The emergency department and other services including obstetrics will continue to operate as normal.
Other – mostly lower grade – surgeons will remain on site.
