Text

I thank the Minister for his answer and that detail on the roll-out in north Belfast. I welcome the roll-out of the multidisciplinary team. It is a great model and a good use of the transformation fund to bring in those extra services. I think that the Minister mentioned physiotherapy, mental health practitioners and social workers. The Minister mentioned, I think, 21 practices and 18 in the next year. Has the detail about what extra professionals will go into which GP services been worked out? Were all GP services offered the opportunity to participate? I am happy to receive that information in writing if he does not have it to hand, but perhaps he has a bit more now.
