A chronically ill former NHS healthcare worker has risked her life and travelled to England for medical treatment she claims she's being denied here.
26 year-old Felicity McKee suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder and an Eating Disorder and has been in and out of hospital twenty times already this year.
The Armagh local says medical staff have told her every time she's admitted to the Emergency Department that it's "touch and go".
Despite her medical conditions she is discharged "prematurely" because there aren't enough beds and once discharged she claims there's no support or care in the community outside of family and friends.
Felicity says because of her dual diagnosis and poor communication between different health services, the system is failing her.
