Save the Maternity Unit at the Lagan Valley Hospital in Lisburn!
Sign Now
It is understood the Maternity Unit at the Lagan Valley Hospital in Lisburn will close within a year to 18 months.
More than 1,200 babies are born each year at the midwife-led unit which serves more than 125,000 people.
The MP for the area, Jeffrey Donaldson of the DUP, said he was totally against the closure. "The unit has been very successful," Mr Donaldson said.
"My message this morning to the trust board will be absolutely clear - we will fight this all the way."
Last year the hospital's maternity unit was highly recommended for significantly reducing the number of caesarians sections.
We want to Save the Maternity Unit at the Lagan Valley Hospital in Lisburn! This is for our childrens future and should remain for that reason alone!

I have had all 3 of my children at the Lagan Valley, The staff always have proven themselves to be professional and caring. It is an outrage that this service has to be discarded with.

Lisburn needs it's Maternity Unit, which is staffed by a wonderful team. Wouldn't want to have any future children anywhere else.

Our maternity unit at Lagan valley Hospital should not close. How can we call Lisburn a city when it wont even have a maternity unit.

This hospital is very important to the community and therefore should be kept open for all citizens in its area.

Two of my children were born there and it was such a relaxed place with a high level of care and convenient for people living within the Lisburn area.
