After one year in operation, the Northern Ireland Executive evaluations by First Minister Michelle O'Neill and Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly reflect both achievements and challenges. O'Neill noted substantial advancements, such as securing nearly £500 million for public services, while pointing out ongoing issues in the health sector, which requires significant investment. Little-Pengelly emphasized the need for prioritization in government planning, acknowledging that addressing longstanding health-related concerns is complex, akin to "turning a tanker." The coalition agrees that considerable improvements are necessary moving forward.
