Mr Dorrian continued NHS staff are not immune to the rise of racism in our society, and racist rhetoric from our politicians have emboldened racist across the United Kingdom and Ireland. Our local politicians must stand up to the racism that is growing steadily across Northern Ireland. There must be outright condemnation of racist behaviour and aggression, no excuses, justification, or talk of legitimate concerns. Every attempt to sanitise these actions are a dog whistle to those who stir up racial tensions at every opportunity. Mr Dorrian concluded by saying we have a crisis in our health service which will become worse with the winter pressures. So we must send out a clear message that the right to free health care, does not give you the right to be racist, or aggressive, to the staff doing their best to deliver treatment in extremely difficult circumstances.
