Northern Ireland’s Health Minister, Mike Nesbitt, has outlined a three-year strategic plan aimed at securing a fair pay deal for staff and improving services. The plan includes initiatives to tackle obesity and enhance accountability in health care. However, it lacks specific funding details and targets, raising concerns about its feasibility amidst existing budget constraints. Nesbitt emphasizes the need for a stable approach to enhance the health and wellbeing of the population, while critics describe it as an ambitious yet unrealistic ‘Christmas wish list’.
