A new pharmacy department has been officially opened at the Mid Ulster Hospital.
£430,000 has been spent on refurbishing and upgrading a former ward.
It provides centralised dispensing and distribution of medicine for patients and community services across the Northern Trust.
Speaking at the opening, the Minister said the department will benefit patients, providing dispensing for the Mid Ulster Hospital site as well as to off-site facilities including Inver Rehabilitation Unit in the Moyle, the Robinson Community Hospital in Ballymoney, Dalriada Urgent Care and The Rowan.
“The new department dispenses and distributes specialist medicines for cancer, multiple sclerosis and renal patients and specialist supplies for diabetic patients who are managed in the community,” she explained.
The Minister also visited the District Nursing Team at Cookstown Health Centre and the Rehabilitation Ward in the Mid Ulster Hospital.
She also met service users at Ardrath House and visited Supported Living Unit, Church Lane Mews in Magherafelt.
