Question:
To ask the Minister of Health whether he plans to develop a community services prioritisation framework for Northern Ireland, similar to that published by NHS England on 11 January 2022.

Answer:

As we move out of the pandemic, my Department’s current plan covering all Health and Social Care work is the ‘Strategic Framework for Rebuilding HSC Services’. The Department’s Management Board for Rebuilding HSC Services provides oversight and direction of the framework.

Further development of the framework will be considered in line with the priorities of our Health and Social Care System.
