"People Power has ensured an abrupt stalling of the care home fiasco that was being  steam rolled out by the Trusts. I am sure that residents, their families and staff of Cloughreagh House and all other targeted centres will now have an opportunity to have their views and wishes clearly herard.

The minister has said that he will have a hands on approach which is to be welcomed as it is important that any proposed changes are discussed and agreed with the full involvement of those it directly effects" said the local Councillor who lives close to Cloughreagh House and he continued "However I would urge all  who have valued and respected the services of Cloughreagh House not only to residents but the community to ensure  they contact Minister Poots and let him know exactly that and how important the retention of the Home and service is to us all"
