Text

I acknowledge the families who are here, many of whom I was proud to stand alongside and campaign with throughout the scandal, including in the fight that they had just to have the public inquiry held. That needs to be acknowledged. Minister, the inquiry has been highly critical of the Belfast Trust's approach, raising concerns about its attitude towards families and its approach to the inquiry, which has caused families further hurt. You said that you will meet the trust this afternoon: if you are not satisfied with its response, are you prepared to impose independent oversight or take further action to restore public confidence?
