Minister faces questions over waiting lists at gov't Q&A
The health minister says it's time there were 'honest conversations' around what level of services we expect on the Island.
Lawrie Hooper faced an audience at the Villa Marina last night, where he was quizzed over lengthy hospital waiting lists.
One questioner said they felt patients would be sooner seeing an undertaker than a doctor.
Minister Hooper says the conversations are long overdue:
Ard-Shirveishagh hopes he's given members enough time to consider 'Charter for Change'

Increase of more than 500 patients for mental health services over last 12 months
