@irish_news @deirdreheenan @deirdreheenan is 100% right. Our award winning elective care service @ni_gpecs has already been cut by 50%. So many useful people had 50% of their activity and income taken overnight! Meanwhile, waiting lists for secondary care continue to logarithmically increase. Madness! 🤯
More on the flawed health reform project rolling out largely unnoticed. New area planning boards are "neither use nor ornament", says @deirdreheenan - and the Dept of Health isn't being too forthcoming about last year's trial run in the Southern Trust. irishnews.com/opinion/youre-…
Robert Jenrick tells @BbcLaura that Dr Dan Poulter is confused on the facts re NHS spending. He claims that under a Conservative gov “there has been a 40 percent real terms increase in spending on NHS” An outright lie- not challenged by #bbclaurak Source Nuffield Trust
David Byrne on BBC4 from the Union Chapel Islington. And he was. And he still is.
Next up Prof @deirdreheenan from @UlsterUni explains the imperative for cross border collaboration in routine cancer care and research
Delighted to be at the #Euro-American Forum on Cancer dinner at the stunning Dublin Castle with my fabulous colleague @QUBCancerProf #CancerHasNoBorders #StrongerTogether @stewartcdickson #CancerHasNoBorders
Bravo to this woman in the #bbcqt audience.👏👏 It is a bit rich for our billionaire PM SunaK to refer to a “sick note culture and lazy workforce”’ Perpetuating toxic tropes and demonising sick, vulnerable people in society is utterly despicable.
I for one welcome the UUP decision to select Tim Collins to stand in North Down. Frankly, there aren’t enough poorly informed, egotistical, arrogant, right-wing cranks living in Kent standing for election here. Another masterstoke brought to you by the UUP. #sundaypolitics
How can anyone take Swann seriously? A long term plan and stability is critical for health system in choas. We were told Swann was ideal candidate for role as he would bring continuity and knew the brief. Not in any way self-serving and playing politics with people’s lives?

Waiting lists in NI by far longest in UK and trajectory is upwards. Do we have a proper plan to fix it? No Is there someone with regional oversight of WL? No Is there accountability? No Do we learn from others? No Is it about money? No Is it time for new approach? @bbctheview
A masterclass from @bphillipsonMP on how to deal with an aggressive, abusive Tory who knows the game is up. @DavidTCDavies making a complete fool of himself on #bbcqt
Reform UK and the TUV deserve each other, but haven’t the rest of us suffered enough? - @deirdreheenan irishnews.com/opinion/reform…
New report from RCPCH on Waiting Lists for children in NI paints a damning picture. Number of children waiting more than 12 months: Scotland 0 Wales 0 NI 6,326 Haven’t we have tolerated this appalling performance for far too long?
Well said John O’Farrell on #bbclaurak on the Angela Rayner “ridiculous non story” I have to say, for you as a broadcaster, for BBC, to keep spending time on this …..this bit of gossip. “It’s not a story”
As the Austrian 🇦🇹 hon consul delighted to be at the Consular Corps Association diplomatic dinner. Also delighted to welcome our good friend @SueGrayLab back to N. Ireland.

Oliver Dowden "We are holding Israel to INCREDIBLY high standards". Meanwhile, in Gaza there is a famine, over 33,000 civilians (mostly women and children) and 200 aid workers have been killed, refugee camps bombed. Shameless #bbclaurak
DUP thrown into yet another crisis in an election year and at a time of political fragility in the North. Gavin Robinson knows there is no road back to rejectionism. Making the case for the Union requires pragmatism and generosity. #BBCLauraK businesspost.ie/analysis-opini…

@thedissenter @deirdreheenan The HSC Board was merged into the department two years ago to centralise and better coordinate planning, so area boards are an exercise in the opposite direction.
@irish_news @deirdreheenan @deirdreheenan is 100% right. Our award winning elective care service @ni_gpecs has already been cut by 50%. So many useful people had 50% of their activity and income taken overnight! Meanwhile, waiting lists for secondary care continue to logarithmically increase. Madness! 🤯
As ever, @deirdreheenan hits the nail on the head: "The health minister has warned of “dire consequences” if health did not get the financial allocation he demanded. This looks like a blatant attempt to deflect away from inaction and a refusal to reform." irishnews.com/opinion/youre-…
This is frustrating as it shows few have a handle on health. 'Sorting out hospital discharging' would require an investment in social care, more staff, more resources. How do we not understand this? Health (budget) is a proxy from problems elsewhere.
@BoulderMurphy3 @AlanStout19 @SteveAikenUUP That’s the crux of an issue. “Standing still” isn’t an option. For example, Nuffield tells us we could *save* £410m/year (which could then be used, say, for pay pressures) essentially by sorting out hospital discharging. So where’s the plan for that?
Direct appeal to Ministers from @irish_news today, after 12 weeks of power-sharing …
Tribute to Stephen Grimason in Stormont chamber from @mikenesbittni who knew him well.
We've had all the photo opportunities and bonhomie but where is the substance? What has been achieved? That's what the public is entitled to know, particularly as we were told those they elected would 'hit the ground running'. It's time for action, not just lots of photos
More on the flawed health reform project rolling out largely unnoticed. New area planning boards are "neither use nor ornament", says @deirdreheenan - and the Dept of Health isn't being too forthcoming about last year's trial run in the Southern Trust. irishnews.com/opinion/youre-…
You’re right Robin, it’s not about you. But it is about us, and our health is being failed yet again - Deirdre Heenan @deirdreheenan irishnews.com/opinion/youre-…
I love when stupid questions get batted back with this level of calm vitriol. Nancy Pelosi is a class act. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
Stephen Grimason, my dear friend, has died. He showed enormous courage against the odds right to very end. In over 40 years of friendship and rivalry we never exchanged a cross word. Lucky to have spent time with him in his last days. Sleep well my friend.
Very sorry to hear that Stephen Grimason has died. Glad that I was able to attend an event with him and Ken Reid at the time of the Good Friday Agreement 25th anniversary. They joked about who would be first to go, given both were ill, and I know Ken will be very sad tonight.…
@bbctheview @macmillancancer @MarkCarruthers7 He has signally failed to deliver the Cancer Strategy for NI how long must we wait.
