Trust: We never proposed closing The Cottages

The Western Trust says it never proposed closing The Cottages on the Dungiven Road.

A spokesperson said: “The Trust wishes to assure the public that it never proposed to close the Cottages Residential Respite Service. Rather the Trust has been reviewing this service and that work is continuing.

“The Trust will continue to keep the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety, families and other key stakeholders engaged in the process.”
