Commenting on the Bengoa report into healthcare reform in Northern Ireland, Nuffield Trust Chief Executive Nigel Edwards said:
“This is a comprehensive and thoughtful plan setting out a range of sensible actions to improve health and social care in Northern Ireland. But implementing it will require some difficult decisions and will be particularly challenging in the current financial climate.
“A lesson from previous changes to healthcare in Northern Ireland is the need for cross-party consensus – it is encouraging that successful efforts have been made to achieve this.”
