Unified health body on hold
Health Minister Michael McGimpsey has placed the plans for a unified health board for Northern Ireland on hold.
Under the proposals the combined heath authority was to replace the individual health boards in the province.
The Minister said in a memo circulated to health staff that further examination of the proposals for a single health authority would be carried out.
Mr McGimpsey said that change was necessary, but that it was important to get this process right.
However, it is being reported that several senior staff, part of the proposed unified health authority management team, have already been appointed.
