The cuts have been slammed as forcing our young people to study further afield while also depriving our health service of new staff
Cuts to medical student places will impact Derry "worse than elsewhere" due to the impact on the Magee campus at Ulster University, it has been claimed.
"The Department fully understands the concerns being expressed about the decision to limit new nursing student places to 1025 this year." “This decision also comes as a blow to those people who want to pursue a vocation in any of these fields but are now being told they can't do it here. These decisions in the name of short-term savings, are tantamount to self-harm.
“Our health service is already under huge pressure and staff are burnt out from working long hours in our hospitals and this will pile even more strain on workers at a time when we need more nurses.
