Northern Ireland’s health service is set to topple over without immediate action from the Stormont Executive, Michelle O’Neill has warned.

The deputy First Minister said healthcare staff were physically and mentally exhausted after 18 months battling Covid-19 and were fearful about what was facing them as winter approaches.
