Some patients who have been red flagged for breast cancer assessments are waiting up to seven weeks to be seen in Northern Ireland. The target set by Northern Ireland's devolved Department of Health (DOH) - which oversees five health and social care trusts - is 14 days. Judith Mullan, a nurse from Cookstown, who went private for an appointment said she was "frustrated" and "let down" by waiting times.
