In a keynote statement to the Assembly, the Minister said, “I am absolutely determined to put this right.
“But as I will argue today, I cannot do this alone. “I need the support of this House and my Executive colleagues if we are to address our absolutely dire waiting lists.” Mr Swann informed MLAs that detailed plans are being finalised on both waiting times and cancer care. These will shortly be issued for public consultation, as will a review of urgent and emergency care. Today also sees the publication of the latest Trust rebuilding plans for health and social care, covering the period April to June.
