Sperrin Lakeland Trust Profile 2
Introduction
The area served by the Sperrin Lakeland Health and Social Care Trust covers three
District Council areas, Omagh, Fermanagh and about one third of Strabane.
The Trust
delivers health and social care to approximately 118,000 people spread across 1,000
square miles in some of Northern Ireland’s most remote and marginal rural areas.
The
Sperrin Mountains, which dominate the northern portion, and the Fermanagh lakes, which
do likewise for the southern portion, add to the scenic splendour.
However, fewer than a third of the population live in the two large towns of Omagh and Enniskillen, the
remainder living in smaller towns and villages and in the open countryside.
Our mission statement and aims
“To enrich and enhance the quality of life for the whole community
through the provision of relevant and efficient health and social care.”
The Sperrin Lakeland Health and Social Care Trust came into existence on 1 April 1996.
We seek to achieve the aims of our mission statement through the following objectives:
· providing services which match the needs and standards of those to which we are
accountable;
· ensuring we focus appropriately on the needs and aspirations of patients, clients and
their carers and other service users;
· using the opportunities offered by Trust status, and in particular the contribution that can be made by the non-executive directors, to secure ownership of services by our
local community;
· keeping in tune with the needs of the West;
· constantly measuring our performance at all levels and being open and accountable;
· making full use of resources to provide for the needs of our local population in an
efficient, effective and economic manner;
· investing in the enhancement of clinical and professional expertise and skills, and
promoting the involvement of clinicians and professionals in the organisation and
management of the Trust;
· valuing the benefits of research, audit, needs assessment and evaluation in keeping
services, techniques and practices relevant and effective;
· continuing to give priority to raising awareness of health and social care issues through information, education and promotion;
· ensuring positive employee relations;
· recognising the value of partnership(s) in planning and delivering health and social
care;
· instilling an entrepreneurial culture, which enables creativity and innovation in service delivery, to the benefit of our community;
· consistently acknowledging that we have much to learn.

Developing Better Services
In February 2003, the former Minister for Health, Des Browne announced his plans
regarding the future provision of health and social services in Northern Ireland. These
plans included his decision to provide a new acute hospital to the North of Enniskillen
and a local hospital in Omagh. These facilities will be part of a network of hospital care
across Northern Ireland and integrated with community and primary care services.
Developing Better Services (DBS) is the name given to the overall development of
improved health and social services across Northern Ireland. As a Trust, we have been
asked by the Department of Health to implement the decisions reached by the Minister in
February 2003. In doing so, we are working with our colleagues at the Western Health
and Social Services Board, Altnagelvin Hospital Trust and the Department of Health, as
well as our staff and the local community and its representatives.
For further information on the DBS project, please contact Mary Maguire on (028) 8283
5965 or at marymaguire@slt.n-i.nhs.uk or at skerr@slt.n-i.nhs.uk or by fax on (028) 8283
5969 or visit our website at www.sperrin-lakeland.org
Human Milk Bank
Breast milk is vital in helping sick babies recover and premature babies develop. Our
Human Milk Bank, the only one in Ireland, is based in Irvinestown. It co-ordinates the
collection, screening, pasteurisation, storage and distribution of breast milk to babies in
hospitals and their own homes in our area as well as other parts of Northern Ireland and
Republic of Ireland. Breast milk is in high demand and new donor mothers are always
needed. Please contact Ann McCrea on (028) 6862 8333 for more information or if you
wish to become a donor mother.
Listening and responding
The views of people who use our services continue to be a valuable means of testing
quality and highlighting when remedial action is necessary to make improvements in our
services.
Sperrin Lakeland Trust Profile 10
In November 2002, a pilot of an advocacy model of handling patient/client concerns
commenced. An evaluation has been carried out and the pilot has been extended.
We welcome both complaints and compliments – both assist us in our aim of continuous
improvement of our services. Concerns should, where possible, be raised with those
involved in providing care. Our staff are encouraged to resolve concerns at the time a
difficulty arises. However, patients and clients may choose to contact our complaints
team. They can be contacted at Trust Headquarters, Strathdene House, Tyrone and
Fermanagh Hospital, Omagh, Co Tyrone, BT79 0NS, on (028) 8283 5485.
