Mr. Jim Breslin:

That is completely separate. We have deeply embedded service level arrangements North and South. We have extensive North-South co-operation. We have people from the South getting radiotherapy in Altnagelvin. We have people from the South getting cardiac catheterisation in the laboratory in Altnagelvin. We have children from the North coming down to Crumlin for cardiac surgery. We will not let Brexit interfere with that one iota. The two Departments are firmly committed to it and all that co-operation will continue for evermore and will not be affected by Brexit.
