media captionRobin Swann says this lockdown should be the last
Delayed decisions and party politicking have undoubtedly cost lives during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to Health Minister Robin Swann.
He told BBC News NI the public health message was also damaged by politicians failing to stand together.
Speaking as Northern Ireland prepares to mark one-year since its first coronavirus case, Mr Swann said the latest lockdown should be the last.
However, he said that would only be if there was a cautious exit. If we come out of this lockdown responsibly, cautiously taking the right steps at the right time, it should be our last lockdown, the minister explained.

A mother-of-six waiting almost four years for a neurology appointment says she feels angry and frustrated at having to take her case to court.
Eileen Wilson (47) is one of two women taking legal action highlighting NI s lengthy hospital waiting lists.
Ms Wilson said she was at the point where she would beg for an appointment.
The Belfast Trust has apologised and acknowledged the difficulties for patients affected by waiting times.
A trust spokesperson said: The Trust accepts that waiting times across a number of services are longer than acceptable and continues to work with colleagues from the Health and Social Care Board (HSCB) to prioritise the care needs of patients who have been referred to our services.
