Thank you @PivotalPPF for the platform to highlight the severe pressure in cancer care in NI. The true impact of failure falls well beyond the confines of a Departmental performance report, it falls on the lives of people with cancer, and their loved ones, urgent action is needed

On Pivotal Platform @Sarah_Christie5 of @macmillancancer details the "critical condition" of cancer care. Stats published today show "only 29.8% of people began their first treatment within the 62-day target from an urgent GP referral. The target is 95%."

I'm so proud of this young man for attending his formal this evening. It's easy to look at him and see a confident 16 year old but behind the persona is neurodiversity, anxiety and panic disorder. He has come a long way but still some distance to go and tonight was a massive step

This is what domestic violence looks like, April is sexual violence awareness month and it's important to spotlight that sometimes what seems ordinary is far from it. It is also a time to remind folks that it takes an awful lot to bring justice to perpetrators doors so be mindful

Northern Ireland hasn’t had a functioning government for nearly two years and cancer care is in crisis. This has meant the lives of people with cancer are at risk. Politicians must get back to work, resume governing and make the crucial decisions to fix cancer care.

It beggers belief that the very systems that people in NI rely on everyday are not top of the agenda and stalemate after stalemate is allowed to take precedence when everything is under pressure and budgets stretched. This is not a legacy to be proud of.

It’s been a year since the Northern Ireland Cancer Strategy was published. We recognise the @healthdpt is doing what it can under difficult circumstances. But we need investment, leadership and a functioning Assembly to take on the challenges in cancer care in Northern Ireland.

Cancer surgery can be dependent on availability of ICU beds, when 49 of the 104 (base level is 88 ICU beds) are occupied by CV19 patients the inevitable will happen and operations will be cancelled. You can help reduce this pressure, continue being cautious and get a jab if able

What a wonderful evening with laughter and tears, we owe the NI Women's Coalition so very much. The inaugural Baroness May Blood Memorial Lecture was certainly a night to remember for all the right reasons. Thank you to Anne, Avila, Bronagh and Jane @IntEdAlumni 🌳

Amazing things happening here in NI, a game changer, it took my bro in law over a year going to his GP to realise that, actually in his 30's, he did in fact have bowel cancer. Thankfully he is still here 15 years later but so many aren't, this will help diagnose folks earlier 💛

Train to St George's Market for a mini adventure with my side kick - shamefully it's the first time I've been but definitely won't be the last

Trying to bring someone to justice is not easy, it's actually hell but speculation helps nobody and sadly what they will face in the justice system will be highly uncomfortable.

Today this magnificent thing happened, five years in the making but she lives! 1 of 48 in the world of this spec and the sentimental value is huge. Mechanic sent me the video and I almost cried in Sainsbury's #subaru #Snoop #soulmate

@markataylor16 Clinicians having to step up and do the work of politicians is not only counterproductive but is a complete dereliction of duty by our elected reps. I see them scrambling to implement change to support our HSC whilst having their hands tied by lack of governance - it's shameful

Between Jan and March only 34.8% of people started their 1st definitive cancer treatment within 62 day of an urgent GP referral, the target is 95%! This is categorically unacceptable and entirely avoidable - MLAs What Are You Waitng For? @macmillancancer
