Funding for Health Service Transformation - Amendment 2
Leave out all after ‘June 2024;’ and insert:
‘recognises that 14 years of reduced budgets and austerity has played a detrimental role in creating higher waiting lists, deepened health inequalities and played a role in exacerbating the mental health crisis; understands that the best way to protect the health service is to invest in it; disagrees with a process of reducing the health service under the guise of “rationalisation”; further believes there is a need for a new, long-term financial settlement with the Treasury; calls on the Minister of Health to work with Executive colleagues to strongly make the case for additional funding from the Treasury; and further calls on the Minister to work with Executive colleagues to prioritise and allocate additional resources to tackle the backlog in hospital waiting lists.’
