Ms Noeleen Moran:

On commitments from parties, we had constructive meetings this time last year with each of the health spokespersons from various parties. They all committed to show support but there was no commitment to follow up on that. One party, the Social Democrats, has been very good about putting questions for us but we have not received follow-up from those particular meetings or a commitment to the reopening of the emergency departments.

We have made requests through the petitions committee in our written submission where we suggested various people who might come before the committee, but I do not know if that is something that is on the cards.
