Speaking today after the Belfast Trust intervened to fly home a North Belfast man from Spain after life saving treatment, fellow Executive Minister Gerry Kelly said:
"The case of Paddy Herron has touched the hearts of us all as he was struck down with a brain tumor whilst on his honeymoon in Spain. We had lobbied the Health minister to intervene to pay for an air ambulance to bring Paddy home after his insurance company refused to meet the cost."
"The brilliant campaign by Paddy's family to fund raise and lobby to have Paddy returned home has now paid off and the Belfast trust are to fly Paddy home at the start of next week. I want to commend Michael McGimpsey for his efforts on behalf of our constituent and I am glad that common sense has prevailed"
“Hopefully now we can get Paddy home and continue the recovery process along with his family."
