Today was the NISTAR quarterly Clinical Governance Day with presentations from all four teams. A fantastic day of sharing best practice and learning from each other.

[Lisa Dorrian ⚖️ @letsfindlisa]

Great to discuss Lisa’s case with Stephen Dunne MLA yesterday ahead of the 18th anniversary of Lisa’s disappearance and murder. It’s so important that we keep talking about Lisa in the hope that we will finally get the information we need #letsfindlisa @StephenDunneMLA

Next week, we take our fight to Westminster.

It’s quiet out there right now, too quiet for our liking!

We have written to SoS @chhcalling to meet with us early next week in London. We deserve answers!

The fight continues…
