CSP calls for continuity on health reform in Northern Ireland 'We look forward to working constructively with the incoming Health Minister Robbie Butler MLA, who has been a longstanding and valued supporter of the CSP and the Community Rehabilitation Alliance in Northern Ireland, and has consistently recognised the importance of rehabilitation, physiotherapy and the wider allied health professions. 'The CSP will continue to make the case for evidence-led reform, a sustainable health and care workforce, and greater investment in prevention, community rehabilitation and services closer to people’s homes. 'Delivering meaningful transformation, however, cannot rest with the Health Minister alone. It will require collective support and commitment across the Executive, with decisions about the future of health and social care taken transparently, informed by clinical evidence and workforce realities, and with proper regard to equality, access and the needs of local communities.'
