When I come to the Chamber and raise specific issues, it is often because members of the public have asked me to raise those issues on their behalf. The Health Department has been by far the most frustrating Department for me during my 19 months in office. It is disappointing that, on many occasions, I have had to…

I acknowledge that fact, Mr Durkan, and I intend to use my time to reinforce that point. I acknowledge that the Opposition have previously tabled motions on the subject.
