westlands residential home cookstown
Despite several different claims Westlands residential Home saved itself in the last health review.
The Comprehensive Spending Review 2008 tested all residential homes within the Northern Health & Social Care Trust. The different areas that were tested are:
At the time the NHSCT provided 9 residential homes, of these 9 Westlands had the joint top score, thereby saving itself. It was a well used facility and a facility that was in demand. However what will change this now is the removal of elderly clincis at Westlands Health Center, changes that were agreed by Magherafelt Council without consulting Cooktown Council residents. For Westland's to be retained this time it must be as a Health Facility and not just a residential home.
During the last review very few responses came to the NHSCT to save Westlands, with only 21 of over 400 responses that were not directed at retaining the other homes being submitted.
Westlands will not be able to save itself this time, its residents need your help. Email [email protected] for a template letter to send to the Transforming Your Care Review team.
