The East Derry MLA said: “It’s unacceptable that many staff social care, community pharmacy and GP staff continue to wait for their payment in the mouth of Christmas.

“I am pleased that so far that applications for the payment for almost 8,000 social care workers have been processed. It is important that GP and community pharmacy staff are processed at the same speed and time.
