Question:
To ask the Minister of Health, Social Services and Public Safety what will become of the equipment used for the provision of services, including transport, specifically for Multiple Sclerosis patients at Dalriada Hospital, during the temporary period of closure.

Answer:

During the temporary closure period, the majority of equipment will remain on site. When an option for the re-provision of bed-based multiple sclerosis respite care has been agreed then, if required, any equipment could be loaned as necessary to the provider by the Northern Health and Social Care Trust.

The multiple sclerosis bus will remain on site.
