The Committee will use the session to find out conditions faced by nurses, doctors, surgeons and teachers in Northern Ireland and what impact they have on patients.
Decisions on where the axe should fall and how the much-needed transformation in Northern Ireland’s public services should proceed have been made more difficult in the absence of an Executive to make them.
This is the third session of the Committee’s inquiry on the funding and delivery of public services in Northern Ireland.
