Health

  • The IPP will support attempts to provide HSCNI with greater autonomy with a view to reconciling cross-border healthcare
  • Underfunding of hospitals and GP practices in Northern Ireland is a significant problem, but it is one the IPP will tackle with ease, consulting with HM Government to request improved funding for HSCNI facilities if they can be found to be lacking in resources.
  • We will rekindle the relationship on healthcare on the border, creating a Cross-Border Emergency Healthcare Initiative in consultation with the Irish government, ensuring that patients can be diverted to cross-border hospitals if their case is deemed high enough on the ranking system.
