Organisations representing doctors and nurses from across Northern Ireland have issued a joint call for politicians at Stormont to “put patients first” and form an Executive immediately.
The Royal College of Nursing, the British Medical Association Northern Ireland, the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, and the Royal College of GPs, have said that political instability is putting basic service delivery at risk.
The DUP is refusing to return to the devolved power-sharing Executive until its issues with the post-Brexit Northern Ireland Protocol are resolved.
