“I don’t know what the health service will look like in a week’s time,” Minister Swann told a Stormont health committee on Thursday.
“The surge plans are in place to do what we have to do.
“To give any sort of commitment now that we will return 100% to where we were two months ago – I can’t give it. I won’t give it, because I can’t stand over it.”
