Gildernew deeply concerned at RQIA resignations

Sinn Féin MLA Colm Gildernew and Chair of the Health Committee said today he is deeply concerned that the entire board of the Health Regulator has resigned.

Colm Gildernew said:

“I am deeply concerned that the entire RQIA board felt it necessary to resign.

“I had sought details from the minister this morning on the ‘number’ of resignations referenced in his press statement last week but that appears to have been a gross understatement.

“I am calling on the Minister of Health to come forward and explain the circumstances which led to this unprecedented action by the health and social care regulator, in the middle of a public health pandemic.

“It is essential that the Minister of Health urgently explains to all the services and service users who rely on the RQIA to function, how the role of the regulator will continue to provide vital services to support and inspect health and social care services.”

The Defence Forces; the Naval services & Army Ranger Wing deserve every bit of praise they have received since the operation off our coast yesterday.
The successful operation again demonstrates the benefits of and need to invest in naval capacity and wider Defence Force.

Government to hike petrol and diesel TWICE next month! In most counties driving a car is not a luxury, it is essential to get to work or drop kids to school

All Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael are doing is making peoples lives more difficult. It's time for change! – @MattCarthy

.@Padraig_Delargy and @Farrell_Mairead met and listened to the voices of students today at the Queens University Freshers' Fair.

Sinn Féin will continue to have the backs of students, and work to ensure that there is affordable accommodation for students right across Ireland.
