Dr Anne Kilgallen, Chief Executive, Western Health and Social Care Trust said the Trust’s own significant investment plans include the on-site Altnagelvin facilities for the new medical school, and a proposed Strabane Health & Care Hub and for the THRIVE initiative. “These provide very significant opportunities for not only the wider economic and social wellbeing of the city and district, but also in relation to the enhancement of our services and the recruitment of medical and other health professionals,” she said, adding:

“In parallel with these important initiatives, the Trust has significant Trust investment proposals for a Health & Care Hub within the city side of Derry/Londonderry.
