Stormont plans to overhaul Northern Ireland's struggling health service have been "thrown into disarray" by the DUP pulling the First Minister out of the Executive.
Health experts warned efforts to tackle waiting lists and staff shortages are in jeopardy as Paul Givan's resignation means the Executive cannot approve a three-year budget.
A 10% funding boost for the health service was among the key priorities in Stormont's draft budget in a bid to rebuild the care system in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
