Northern Ireland politicians clashed on funding for the health service in the second major TV debate of the general election campaign.

The opening exchanges of the BBC NI debate focused on the recent controversy around the allocation to health in this year's Stormont budget.

All other main parties of the Executive - Sinn Féin, DUP and Alliance - backed the spending plan, with the main opposition party the SDLP opposing it. Mr Robinson said other departments also required additional funding, speculating what the impact might have been if all the money had been given to the health service.
