Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. The campaign group Parents 4 Pegs NI will be holding a drop-in session upstairs and would welcome the engagement, if you are free later, Minister. They would welcome further clarity — you have given some — on whether the current strategy, as they understand it, of having two surgeries a week, the partnership with Evelina hospital in London and the surgeries currently being done at the Ulster Hospital will be sustained in order to see the rest of the waiting list reduced and will continue to be the way to move forward.
