How worried should we be for our health service?
Health minister Michelle O'Neill revealed her plan to reduce waiting lists yesterday.
Health minister Michelle O'Neill published her plan to reduce waiting lists yesterday. The Sinn Fein leader said she needs £31million in the short term to start treating patients, some waiting more than a year. She said she's confident the money will be agreed by a new Executive after the elections. But the BBC's health correspondent Marie Louise Connelly put it to Michelle O'Neill that her announcement yesterday is a fantasy budget. Stephen spoke to Pat Sheehan from Sinn Féin, SDLP's Mark H Duran, Alliance's Paula Bradshaw, DUP's Paula Bradley and former head of the Health and Social Care Board John Compton.
Also on the programme, the PSNI have spent £2million on paying informers in the past five years - is that money well spent in the fight against crime? Stephen talks to former PSNI assistant chief constable Alan McQuillan.
