Transparency needed over Magee medical school: MLA

She said: “I have submitted a written question asking health minister Robin Swann if he will publish his department’s own internal business case for the Magee Medical School. We need greater transparency.

“While I very strongly welcome the progress made recently with regard to the Magee Medical School, we also have to impose sunlight on the process to learn where the blockages are. It is very important that we keep the pressure on to ensure the Magee Medical School opens in September 2021.

“I emphasised this in my speech in the Northern Ireland Assembly in which I complained about the lack of transparency over the progress on the Medical School and compared this to the confusion over the plans for Northern Ireland after the end of the Brexit transition period.”
