Plans to expand Magee University need to move forward, according to Sinn Fein.
Sinn Féin MLA Karen Mullan has said urgent decisions must be made after meeting with officials from Magee today with Martina Anderson and the Chair of the Economy Committee, Caoimhe Archibald.
She said: "It's well known this project has the potential to create investment, train more doctors and plug the existing staff shortfalls in the health service.
"Delivery of the Medical School will be a key step towards the overall expansion of Magee University and the economic regeneration of the north west.
"It's vital there is a united voice coming from the city on the absolute need to get it across the line and for the delivery of commitments made in the New Decade, New Approach document.
"The Minister for Health should finally approve the business case and ensure the medical school is delivered for the north west. It’s time for urgent decisions."
