A meeting about health cuts descends into chaos.

A meeting about health cuts descends into chaos as protesters heckle officials and politicians.

A public meeting held by the Western Trust descended into chaos last night as a number of protesters heckled Trust staff and public representatives. The DUP's Gary Middleton and Hilary McClintock claim they were intimidated to such an extent they had to leave the meeting over safety concerns. The aim of the event was to consult the public on proposed cuts to the health service - but instead of solidarity among the people who attended there were scenes of division as those who wanted to have a discussion found themselves drowned out by some of the more agitated protesters. Our reporter Una Kelly was there.
