Sinn Féin MLA Liz Kimmins has welcomed the announcement of the new ‘Live Better’ initiative to improve health and wellbeing in communities.
The party’s health spokesperson said:
“This is a positive initiative which is clearly about improving health and wellbeing in communities by ensuring people have access to support and resources.
“It is crucial that it also focuses on improving health services for patients and works to increase preventative and early intervention measures within communities, and earlier interaction with health teams can help to manage conditions.
“Community and voluntary organisations have a key role to play in rolling out this project in helping ensure this reaches the people who need it most.
“I look forward to reading the full details of the Live Better initiative and I welcome the progress that has been made to date.”
