 Assaults on health care workers in the province have soared |
Health officials say they want to find new premises for a medical centre in County Armagh following an attack on a doctor. Doctor Sandra Elliott was left badly shaken after she was set upon by two hooded men with baseball bats as she left the Moylinn Medical Centre in Craigavon on Monday.
She is said to be badly shaken by the attack.
Health bosses have condemned the incident.
Eddie Ritson, of the Southern Health Board, said they are looking for a more suitable site for the centre.
"I think what Dr Elliot and the other staff wish to know is that the issue is being taken seriously and it is," he said.
"And also that steps will be taken to continue to improve the security of the premises and that a new sense of urgency will be brought to looking for a longer term solution."
