The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what discussions he has had with the Northern Ireland Executive on supporting the Northern Ireland health service.

Answered by Fleur Anderson

Improving health outcomes across the UK is a priority mission for this Government. Although health is devolved in Northern Ireland, the Government has been clear that it wants to work with the Northern Ireland Executive to transform its public services and improve outcomes for people living in Northern Ireland.

UK Government Ministers regularly engage with Executive Ministers in Northern Ireland, including the Health Minister, to discuss plans to improve public services.
