Roslea Save Our Surgery group host meeting with Unite the Union

by Gráinne Connolly

A meeting will be held in Roslea this evening to discuss further the closure of the local GP practice there. 

The Roslea Save our Surgery group has arranged the information evening and invited guest speakers from Unite the Union. 

Unite's Albert Hewitt, who's been campaigning over the impact of cuts to social welfare, will be attending the meeting.  

He will be joined by Kevin McAdam, Unite's regional officer with responsibility for the Health sector in Northern Ireland. 

The Roslea group took to social media to encourage the local community to attend as they'll have the opportunity to see what Unite can offer them, specifically regarding the surgery. 

They also said: 

"The threat to rural health services is increasing day by day. Action in our community can have positive results.

"The ordinary folk deserve basic health care in our community. We have the power to make positive change."

For those interested in attending the Unite information evening, it's at 7.30pm in the Community Centre.
