Funding for Health Service Transformation - Amendment 1
Leave out all after ‘responsive health service;’ and insert:
‘agrees that delivering the ambitions of Health and Social Care transformation will require political leadership and an emphasis on service quality; recognises the importance of transformation being clinically led with genuine co-design and partnership working with the Health and Social Care sector; further recognises the need to value and reward our dedicated frontline health professionals; expresses concern that the stabilisation package agreed with the Government in December 2023 and lack of multi-year budgets is insufficient to enable the immediate sustainability of public services or to take forward the much-needed transformation agenda; 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 prioritise and allocate additional resources to tackle the backlog in hospital waiting lists in the delivery of the Executive’s forthcoming Programme for Government.’
