Introducing an Integrated 111 Service for Northern Ireland

That this Assembly recognises the sustained and growing pressures facing Northern Ireland’s urgent and emergency care system, including increasing attendances and unacceptable waiting times at Emergency Departments; acknowledges the Executive’s commitment to shifting care closer to home through the shift left agenda focused on prevention, early intervention and strengthening community provision; notes that an integrated 111 urgent care service can play a complementary and enabling role in this transformation by providing a single, accessible front door with clinically-led triage and direct booking into appropriate community, primary and urgent care services; and calls on the Minister of Health to bring forward proposals for the establishment of a Northern Ireland-wide 111 service no later than September 2026.
