Text
Minister, you will have heard sustained criticism in the House of the waiting times for the commencement of treatment for cancer patients, particularly as they approach surgery, which you will understand. I appreciate that that is a difficult issue to resolve, but it is imperative for the patients who are waiting for surgery that it happen in a timely fashion and in accordance with the time limits that have been set out. What plans does the Minister have to expand theatre capacity on the Belfast City Hospital site?
