Mr Alan Chambers: Assembly records
All of Mr Alan Chambers’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I am sure that no one in the House underestimates the scale of the pressures facing our Ambulance Service. Equally, I suspect that no one will try to pretend that our ambulance response times are acceptable. We need to be mindful of the fact that the delays to patient transfer at EDs reduce the availability of…
Have flaws in the integrated education legislation — legislation that my party opposed because of those shortcomings — in any way made it difficult for the Minister to apply any degree of flexibility to the decision-making process around the two Bangor schools? I wish to place it on record that both are excellent…
Minister, you will recall that I have raised in the House previously the issue of control of those dogs in a residential setting. In recent months, there have been serious attacks throughout the United Kingdom and, indeed, some tragic fatalities in family homes. Does the Minister plan to keep the issue under review?
There are around 140 custody cells throughout the police estate, including those in reserve custody suites. Can the Minister confirm whether any of those cells have been used to house prisoners in the short to medium term due to pressures in the Prison Service estate?
To ask the Minister of Education to detail the number of applicants, after interview, that met the criteria for consideration of Ministerial appointment as chairperson of the Education Authority.
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to detail the number of applications for XL Bully Exemption Certificates have been received (i) in total; and (ii) in North Down.
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs whether his Department has any plans to consider late applications for XL Bully Exemption Certificates.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for his assessment of any negative impact on road safety caused by the glare of new generation headlights on drivers of oncoming vehicles.
To ask the Minister of Justice (i) to detail the reasons why her Department has rejected the application by the K9 Search and Rescue charity to be included on the NI Search and Rescue Register; and (ii) for her assessment in relation to the capacity of canine search and rescue currently on the register.
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any meetings he has held with representatives of small businesses to discuss supply issues due to the Windsor Framework, including any assurances he was able to offer them.
To ask the Minister for Communities for his assessment of how (i) the current planning permission backlog; and (ii) wastewater and sewerage restrictions on new builds will impact on plans for the future provision of social housing.
My party and I welcome and support this timely plan. Our Health and Social Care (HSC) workforce will be critical in the delivery of many of the ambitions set out in today's plan. I wish the Minister well in his discussions later with the trade unions. Does the Minister hope that, moving forward, it might be possible…
Whilst there is no doubt that the pandemic caused a major disruption to public health priorities, I am glad that the Minister has had such a clear and immediate focus on public health inequalities. Can the Minister give an assurance that, despite the pressures weighing down the system, progress will continue to be…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether a flat valve outlet in the Donaghadee area that flows directly into the sea during periods of heavy rainfall has been flowing continuously into the sea due to a valve failure.
Not only is the motion dripping in hypocrisy in most parts but it demonstrates a certain lack of self-awareness by the Members who tabled it. The phrase "hurler on the ditch" springs to mind. Some in the Chamber will know what that phrase means. If the signatories to the motion do not know its meaning, they could…
I take it from that answer, Minister, that health is still your first priority. I am sure that the Minister will agree that avoiding industrial action this winter is essential. What conversations has she had with the Health Minister to find a solution to the budget shortfall that is denying health staff the pay awards…
I declare a personal interest in the increasing roll-out of that great Northern Ireland invention. It is a piece of equipment that, you hope, will gather dust due to inactivity, but, when someone suffers cardiac arrest, the prompt deployment of a defibrillator increases the chance of complete recovery. I commend the…
Mr Chambers asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister to confirm whether, given that he understands that it was the previously stated position of their office and the Executive that health was their number-one priority, that is still their position.
As a proud pensioner, I have to declare an interest in the topic. What role did third-party stakeholders, such as charities, community organisations and pensioners advocacy groups, play in helping him to shape the policy?
I thank the Minister. Following on from what the Minister has said, someone will take the hit, be that the public, through the tendering process, or the contractor. Would it not be more cost-effective to the public purse to programme such major work outside the period in which we have that traditional cessation of…
