A NORTHERN Ireland health trust today admitted it kept cash donated towards a Christmas staff party.

Care workers at Northfield House, Donaghadee, Co Down, say around [pounds sterling]1,000 was given by relatives of residents for their annual bash.

According to staff, management told them just before their big night out last week that the money was this year being "redirected" towards training programmes.

The Ulster Community and Hospitals Trust - which runs the care home - said it recently "tightened up" its rules on donations and admitted there was confusion over the matter.

A spokesman said bosses plan to meet with relatives of residents in the new year to explain what happened.
