This is a devolved matter for the Northern Ireland Department of Health. The UK Government has no powers to intervene in this process.

It remains the Government’s top priority to restore the Executive so that locally accountable political leaders can take action on Northern Ireland's public services, including health, in order to deliver better outcomes for the people of Northern Ireland.
