Many more people are getting a health service that relies on that key IT facility to help them to deliver it. When it collapses, it creates the difficulties and problems. There were suggestions that there were difficulties in another trust area, with people not being able to log on the week before. Is it not the case…
It is good that the money will be pushed out across the North so that all areas can benefit.

In my area, I want to see Downpatrick get its share rather than it…
