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

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.

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

In 2014 my wee Nanny passed away on this day in the Ulster Hospital from cancer. I'm tremendously proud to have made this cake using her recipe and Christmas cake tin - I'm no baker but this made me feel so grateful to have such a wonderful influence in my life. #Christmas

Why do I do what I do? Margaret Pomeroy McKinnie (Peggy) passed away on Christmas Day 2014 from Multiple Myeloma in the Ulster Hospital just after 3am - another patient sang Hark The Herald Angel Sing as she passed which brings me exceptional comfort as Peggy was simply my Nanny

This evening has been difficult, found out a friend has passed away suddenly at 36, he had a heart of gold but thankful for memories of all our mad rallying antics. Another friend told me they have got a cancer diagnosis and then I had a religious caller from the baptist church

@SorchaEastwood @macmillancancer analysis suggests that over 2700 people with cancer in NI would survive an extra six months or more if the 62 day target was met and people were diagnosed and treated on time by Dec 2026 instead of targets continuing to decline - heartbreaking

Today was special, I took the 6 year old on a magical mystery tour to Dublin airport to pick up his aunt from the airport (via Cars & Coffee Dundalk). He hasn't seen her since he was 3 - as soon as New Zealand opened their borders her flight was booked, he was ecstatic #family

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 💛

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.

@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
