Minister, in your statement, you said that:
"Daisy Hill requires a minimum of eight consultant obstetricians to maintain a safe and sustainable rota, including the necessary on-call cover."
What is the actual consultant capacity available to staff on the Daisy Hill rota today? Precisely how many additional consultants must be secured to prevent the transfer of births to Craigavon?
