All of Mrs Diane Dodds’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Last October, I think, we held a debate on breast cancer referral times and the 14-day target. At that stage, the Western Trust was 80-something per cent within that target, the Southern Trust 10% and the South Eastern Trust 6%. Now, it appears that, instead of offering equality with the creation of a regional list…
