The head of the NHS Confederation says the lack of NI ministers taking decisions is 'unfortunate'.
Tens or even hundreds of lives are being lost every week in Northern Ireland as a result of not tackling urgent health and social care issues.Speaking to BBC News NI, he said it is surprising that no one seems to be addressing the fact lives are being lost.
Mr Taylor is taking part in a series of interviews and events marking the 75th anniversary of the NHS across the UK. He said the event is an opportunity to explore what is going right and what is not going right within the health and social care system and to think about what type of future people want to create together.Northern Ireland has been without a governing executive and legislative assembly in recent months because of the Democratic Unionist Party's protest against post-Brexit trading rules.
