Text

Thank you, Minister. Yes, a promise that was made and then broken is being replaced with another promise that the money will be forthcoming next year. It is an awful lot to ask healthcare workers to accept that. Will the Minister commit to stopping the Executive's politicking and blaming of one another for why they do not have the money and ensure that our healthcare staff, who work exceptionally hard, get the same money as everybody else on these islands, to which they are entitled.
