The Irish News Deirdre Heenan Deirdre Heenan is 100% right. Our award winning elective care service GPECS has already been cut by 50%. So many useful people had 50% of their activity and income taken overnight! Meanwhile, waiting lists for secondary care continue to logarithmically increase. Madness! 🤯

More on the flawed health reform project rolling out largely unnoticed.
New area planning boards are 'neither use nor ornament', says Deirdre Heenan - and the Dept of Health isn't being too forthcoming about last year's trial run in the Southern Trust.

Robert Jenrick tells @bbclaura that Dr Dan Poulter is confused on the facts re NHS spending.

He claims that under a Conservative gov “there has been a 40 percent real terms increase in spending on NHS”

An outright lie- not challenged by #bbclaurak

Bravo to this woman in the #bbcqt audience.👏👏

It is a bit rich for our billionaire PM SunaK to refer to a “sick note culture and lazy workforce”’

Perpetuating toxic tropes and demonising sick, vulnerable people in society is utterly despicable.

Roy Keane saying it as it is”Harry Maguire said they showed good character to win the game.

I don't see character in this group of players. It's getting to the stage where I almost don't like them anymore.'

Roy Keane as usual sums up this Man Utd team..

I for one welcome the UUP decision to select Tim Collins to stand in North Down.

Frankly, there aren’t enough poorly informed, egotistical, arrogant, right-wing cranks living in Kent standing for election here.

Another masterstoke brought to you by the UUP.

How can anyone take Swann seriously?

A long term plan and stability is critical for health system in choas.

We were told Swann was ideal candidate for role as he would bring continuity and knew the brief.

Not in any way self-serving and playing politics with people’s lives?

Waiting lists in NI by far longest in UK and trajectory is upwards.

Do we have a proper plan to fix it? No
Is there someone with regional oversight of WL? No
Is there accountability? No
Do we learn from others? No

Is it about money? No

Is it time for new approach?

Reform UK and the TUV deserve each other, but haven’t the rest of us suffered enough? - Deirdre Heenan

New report from RCPCH on Waiting Lists for children in NI paints a damning picture.

Number of children waiting more than 12 months:

Scotland 0
Wales 0
NI 6,326

Haven’t we have tolerated this appalling performance for far too long?

Well said John O’Farrell on #bbclaurak on the Angela Rayner “ridiculous
non story”

I have to say, for you as a broadcaster, for BBC, to keep spending time on this …..this bit of gossip.

“It’s not a story”

Oliver Dowden 'We are holding Israel to INCREDIBLY high standards'.

Meanwhile, in Gaza there is a famine, over 33,000 civilians (mostly women and children) and 200 aid workers have been killed, refugee camps bombed.

DUP thrown into yet another crisis in an election year and at a time of political fragility in the North.

Gavin Robinson knows there is no road back to rejectionism.

Making the case for the Union requires pragmatism and generosity.
