NI health: Patients 'at risk' without Stormont executive
Healthcare leaders in Northern Ireland have urged elected representatives to " put patients first" and immediately form a new executive at Stormont.
The British Medical Association Northern Ireland (BMA) and four royal colleges said failure to go into government " will put patients At Risk ".
Last week's election saw Sinn Féin win The Most seats for the First Time .
However, the DUP has said it will not go into an executive until there are significant changes to the NI Protocol.
The protocol is an issue under fresh scrutiny following the elections to the Northern Ireland Assembly.
The elections cemented a majority for assembly members who accept the protocol, including the new largest party, the Republican Party Sinn Féin.
The DUP said it would not nominate any ministers to a Northern Ireland Executive until its concerns about the protocol were resolved.

The executive can not properly function without a first and deputy First Minister .
Caretaker ministers, who were in post before the collapse of Stormont in February, can continue to run their respective departments without an executive, but no new decisions, such as agreeing a budget, can be taken.
But speaking on behalf of nurses, surgeons, GPs, and emergency doctors, the healthcare leaders urged politicians to agree a multi-year budget to allow for effective planning and delivery of services.
'Price of failure is too severe'They said The Situation in the health service could not be more serious.
" The lack of political stability puts basic Service Delivery At Risk and inhibits our ability to make progress on key transformation projects including addressing our waiting lists, tackle The Crisis in emergency admissions and improving capacity in General Practice , " the healthcare leaders said in a joint statement on Thursday.
" It also means we cannot fund our elective care, Mental Health and cancer strategies. We cannot underestimate the huge uncertainty this has on patients.
" The Price of political failure is too severe and will be felt in the worsening health of our most vulnerable citizens, " they said.

The Package includes a former commitment to delivering 1,335 nursing and midwifery university places for 2022-23.
Despite the political uncertainty, Mr Swann is able make this announcement as it is deemed normal departmental business.
In January 2020, under government agreement, The Department of Health committed to creating 900 nursing training places by 2023.
Mr Swann said that despite ongoing " budgetary pressures and uncertainty" his department could maintain that commitment.
The 41 allied Health Professional posts include 10 places in each of physiotherapy and occupation therapy, three in podiatry, five speech and language therapy and three in dietetics.
Training will also be enhanced within oncology (including paediatric cardiology) radiology, vascular surgery and transplant surgery.
