Eighteen Northern Ireland care homes saved from closure
Health Minister Edwin Poots confirmed that the homes would stay open
All 18 NHS care homes in Northern Ireland that were earmarked for closure are to remain open while residents want to stay in them.
Health Minister Edwin Poots confirmed that the homes would stay open in a letter to the Stormont health committee seen by the BBC.
The closures had been announced last year as part of the Transforming Your Care health review.
