Text

I thank the Minister for his response. He knows me well enough to know that I am not saying this lightly, but that will not mean anything to families, the police or community groups who are in ED from Thursday to Sunday or Monday with people who are struggling or in crisis through drugs or alcohol or both. When the budget is confirmed, will the Minister give more security to those very services that are under threat, including to the staff, who are working under extreme pressure in our emergency departments right across the North?
