Prioritising health

Nigel Williams , Northern Ireland commissioner for children and young People

One of my principle jobs as Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People (NICCY) is to make sure that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is applied to children in Northern Ireland. Among those rights are many specific to health, and with my appointment, and that of the Northern Ireland Children’s Minister, I hope we will see a much greater focus on children’s issues, including every child’s right to health care.
