Surgeons Demand Surgical Modernization | Belfast News

About this episode

Surgeons are sounding the alarm on Northern Ireland’s crumbling surgical care system, demanding Health Minister Robbie Butler act fast to modernize services or risk worsening patient outcomes. Major surgical associations have issued a formal warning, citing delays in emergency surgery reviews and workforce shortages that could leave patients without timely, safe care. With cancer waiting times already lagging behind the UK, these experts insist decisions must be grounded in clinical evidence—not politics—so patients get the treatment they need, whether it’s an emergency or planned procedure.
