Text
Minister, your party and your partners in Government — the DUP — have presided over a shameful failure to deliver a Budget for the people of this place. Do you accept that it is not sufficient simply to say that some health funding is ring-fenced, or do you accept that there is a failure and that people are suffering day and daily, particularly given the statement this week that we cannot fund the mental health strategy that was promised to our people? Is it the case that the DUP and Sinn Féin are ruling by fooling?
