An order to remove all religious symbols from health centres has been revoked by Health Minister Chris Fearne.
In a circular, Primary Care officials told heads of health clinics that all religious symbols, such as holy pictures stuck to walls have to be removed.
The reasoning behind this order, to be implemented immediately, was that health centres were a public entity, and should be considered to cater towards a multi-cultural society.
However, in a tweet on Sunday afternoon, Mr Fearne said he disagreed with the decision and has ordered that the circular is revoked immediately.
