Sinn Féin has claimed Health Minister Stephen Donnelly "isn’t in charge” of his department as hospital waiting lists reach record levels.

The party's health spokesman David Cullinane said while Mr Donnelly “has done good things”, particularly in terms of women’s healthcare reform, “the proof in the pudding is the waiting times”.
