Question:
To ask the Minister of Health, Social Services and Public Safety for an update on the implementation of recommendations from his Department’s review into Enhancing Healthcare Services for Children and Young People in Northern Ireland from Birth to 18 Years, since 2014.

Answer:

As a result of the Review, the Department has drafted A Strategy for Paediatric Healthcare Services Provided in Hospitals and in the Community in Northern Ireland (2015-25). The Health and Social Care Board is currently finalising an implementation plan, which will be published with the final Strategy document, subject to my approval. I hope to be in a position to publish the Strategy later this year.
