Text
Like others, I welcome the Minister to his post. I hope to work productively with him for the remainder of the mandate. I also thank Mike Nesbitt for his work during the earlier part of the mandate. The Minister said that the committee's purpose is:
"to ensure that decisions made are transparent, properly evidenced and clinically justified."
He also made it clear that the final decision will rest with him, as Minister. Will the Minister commit to his final decisions being subject to the same standards of transparency, evidence and clinical justification, including publishing the evidence and the considerations? Does he believe that previous Ministers were not transparent?
