Text
I thank the Minister for his answer and for the interim steps that he has taken to resolve the issue in Altnagelvin. Altnagelvin's emergency department is built for 40,000 people, but it currently sees 80,000 people a year. What can we do collectively in the Assembly to push things forward and ensure that there is an adequately sized and adequately resourced emergency department in Derry?
