Great service from easyJet pilot and crew on the flight from Geneva to Belfast tonight. Plane landed in #StormIsha but then sat on the tarmac for 3 hours as wind speed was above safe levels for the ground crew. Pilot kept us fully informed, and crew were excellent throughout.

Great to see the lights on! Now for the difficult bit. Respecting and valuing our health care workers. Refocusing on transformation. Reignition of the primary care MDT rollout. Investment in training across health care, and sorting out the pay issues.RCGPNI BMA Northern Ireland RCN Northern Ireland
