What impact will the lack of budget have on OUR health service? #WaitingLists #BBCNolan

This morning on the Nolan Show, we're coming back to an issue that affects us all. The health service, and what's being done to tackle waiting lists. It's only three months since Sinn Fein's new leader in Northern Ireland Michelle O'Neill announced her ten year plan top tackle the problems facing the health service. That plan promised a "comprehensive approach for addressing waiting lists" by January of this year. Back then, Stephen asked Michelle O'Neill about the targets being put in place, and how we were going to pay for them. He also asked Michelle O'Neill where the money would come from to reduce waiting lists. In December, Stormont's budget was delayed until January. With the collapse of the Executive in January, there is now no budget, and no prospect of one. So what now for the plan to tackle waiting lists? The January date has now passed. Michelle O'Neill says she will go ahead and publish the plan within the next week. The deadline for getting a budget through for the next financial year at Stormont is 29th March, and unless rapid agreement post election the purse strings will be taken over by David Sterling, the permanent secretary of the Department of Finance. He will take charge of money the equivalent of 75 per cent of this year's budget to keep things ticking over until powersharing is back up and a budget agreed. Stephen talks to SDLP's Mark H Durkan, UUP's Roy Beggs, DUP's Paula Bradley and GP Dr George O'Neill.
