Community Hospital Visit

The Minister for Health Michael McGimpsey accepted my invitation to visit the community hospital on behalf of The Friends of Bangor Community Hospital a group of dedicated volunteers which I chair.
During his visit he met with staff and toured the hospital. He was very impressed with what he saw, particularly the new scanner and X-ray unit.
The Minister praised the achievements of 'The Friends' who in a 10 year period raised over £100,000 for patients care. He also highlighted the excellent work delivered by the caring and dedicated staff who deliver services.
His visit was welcomed and that we have a bright future in looking toward the new accommodation for health in Bangor which should commence in 2010.
