The Executive has been accused of playing with people's lives with fears over how the political crisis will affect the health service. The BBC revealed yesterday that a plan to tackle hospital waiting times will have to be put on hold. Health Minister Michelle O'Neill was expected to announce a new strategy this month. Communities Minister Paul Givan of the DUP and Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir of Sinn Fein were talking about this on The View last night. Vinny talks to DUP MP Sammy Wilson, SDLP Health spokesman Mark H Durkan, UUP Finance spokesman Philip Smith, Alliance Party's Paula Bradshaw.
