Public Service Reform
- Question
-
What steps he is taking to support public service reform in Northern Ireland.
- Answer
-
Public service reform is needed, and that is exactly what we are doing. Just last week we announced a £42 million package to be invested in the digitising of prescriptions. With 45 million prescriptions issued every year, the service is inefficient and expensive, and we are changing that.
