Nesbitt Resigns Amid Health Row | Belfast News

About this episode

Health Minister Mike Nesbitt has resigned after just over a year in office, stepping down amid mounting pressure over the controversial decision to move emergency surgery from Causeway Hospital. Though he remained quiet publicly, the UUP confirmed his resignation, praising his drive and leadership — especially on tackling health inequalities, launching a neighborhood care model, and reducing waiting lists. The party will soon announce his successor, as Nesbitt, a former broadcaster and two-time UUP leader, leaves behind a legacy marked by bold reforms and tough decisions.
