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.
To ask the Minister of Education whether his Department will engage with (i) the Education Authority; (ii) Translink; and (iii) Bangor Grammar School, to address the current lack of capacity to transport pupils from the school into Bangor city centre at the end of the school day.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any consideration his Department has taken of whether the cap on the Disabled Facilities Grant meets the needs of applicants for major work projects, given the ongoing annual rise in building costs.
Does the Minister agree that the lack of an agreed multi-year Budget or, indeed, a one-year Budget is preventing him from moving forward with many worthy projects that will contribute to better outcomes for patients, not only, quite rightly, in North Belfast but across Northern Ireland?
I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on Final Stage of the Hospital Parking Charges Bill. Like other Members, I recognise that this has been a constructive and, at times, challenging legislative process. It has highlighted just how deeply the issue resonates with not only our constituents but the…
Drug Dealing Sentencing - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘families and communities;’ and insert: ‘further notes that paramilitary groups have morphed into organised crime gangs that control the illegal drugs trade in Northern Ireland; supports the campaign for Jasmin’s Law to secure accountability for those who…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether they both received advance personal invitations to the official events in Washington DC during the St. Patrick's Day period.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any resource issues being experienced by her Department's Southern Section Office that are causing delays in responding to MLAs' correspondence.
As has been said, the decision to defer the implementation of the 2022 Act was not taken lightly but was rooted in the financial realities that face health and social care. I am confident about that. In that context, it is essential that we proceed with caution where decisions could have unintended consequences for…
I am glad that a further meeting is planned in the coming days. Whilst ambulance capacity continues to be lost due to prolonged hospital handover delays, I very much welcome the significant improvements that have been made in recent months. Is the Minister hopeful that, whilst all-year-round pressures will, no doubt,…
Will the Minister agree that we are pushing at open doors in the USA when we are from Northern Ireland and speak with an accent that our American cousins seem to love to hear? Will he also agree that you need to cross the pond to push those open doors and that every penny spent is a penny well spent on behalf of the…
At a time when the Assembly and the Executive have been widely ridiculed for failing to produce legislation, does the Minister agree that, regardless of any party's position on MUP, it is a gross abuse of political power for one party to single-handedly veto legislation that would undoubtedly have changed and saved…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline any assessment that has been made as to whether the presence of the First Minister, alongside the deputy First Minister, would have added value to the visit to Washington DC over the St. Patrick's Day period.
It is entirely right that the Assembly focus on improving outcomes for women in accessing services at every stage of their life. There is little doubt that significant disparities exist in women's health outcomes and in the timeliness with which care can be accessed. Access to gynaecological services, the diagnosis…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, pursuant to AQW 41692 22-27; to detail (i) whether her Department has a dedicated budget to facilitate expenditure on injury collision cluster sites; (ii) the reason why it was not included in the 2025-26 work programme, given that the junction was identified as having a…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, pursuant to AQW 41691/22-27, to detail (i) whether the completion date of spring summer 2026 was a typographical error; (ii) the circumstances of the work instruction being overlooked; (iii) when her officials become aware that it had been overlooked; and (iv) whether any other…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to outline any assessment that has been made of the impact on the Northern Ireland economy of not visiting Washington DC during her engagements in the United States of America over the St. Patrick's Day period.
I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the Second Stage of the Hospital Parking Charges Bill. I suspect that most Members would agree that, in an ideal world, hospital parking would be free. Patients attending hospital and staff who work in our health service face enough challenges and worries…
There has been a bit of adverse media comment about the cost of erecting the scaffolding and retaining it on-site. Is the Commission content that the current situation with the scaffolding represents the best practical solution and long-term value for money?
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline any assessment that has been made of the benefits to Northern Ireland in attending St. Patrick's Day events in Washington DC.
I welcome the opportunity to speak on this important motion. Such debates really help build better political and public understanding of what are often complex and devastating illnesses. The debate, along with the recent publicity surrounding Eating Disorders Awareness Week, will, I hope, make it a bit easier for our…
