Mr Alan Robinson: Assembly records
All of Mr Alan Robinson’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) the total compensation payments paid to patients; and (ii) the total legal costs incurred as a result in each of the last five years, broken down by Health and Social Care Trust.
I thank the Minister for her response. Does she agree that it would be entirely wrong that police stations, such as the one in Limavady, would be closed as a sacrificial lamb to help to pay the £750,000 Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) fine and other subsequent costs following last year's data breach?
Like others, I thank the Minister for his statement. You say in your statement that trusts have already been asked to take "immediate action" to address critical issues. Can you provide more detail on those actions to the House today, and will you keep a close eye on the key issues that require immediate action?
To ask the Minister of Health (i) why the October initiative for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy surgery at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children has now ceased; and (ii) when and where percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy surgery will recommence.
My party certainly supports the thrust of the main motion, but we felt that it was important to include the issue of respite services being removed when families move from one trust area to another. Whilst availability of respite provision is a problem across the Province, there are also regional inequalities between…
I thank the Minister for his response. Minister, you will be aware that, over the past few years, there have been three road schemes on that route, which have caused many delays and detours. Given that it is 16 years since I attended the public consultation on the proposed A2 Ballykelly bypass, at a time when 16,000…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any action he is taking to (i) stabilise children’s social work services; (ii) improve working conditions for staff, including safe staffing levels; and (iii) address critical shortages in frontline social work, particularly in the (a) Gateway Service teams; and (b) Family…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Addressing the Lack of Respite Provision for Adults with Learning Difficulties, Complex Needs and Challenging Behaviour”
Addressing the Lack of Respite Provision for Adults with Learning Difficulties, Complex Needs and Challenging Behaviour - Amendment 2 After the fourth ‘respite provision’ insert: ‘and the removal of respite services when families move from one Health and Social Care Trust area to another;’
I thank the Minister for his answer. Given that the BMA has highlighted the fact that many GP practices have seen no real benefit from the £5 million in the 2024-25 GMS package that was announced by the previous Minister, does he agree that it is important that we get a long-term model of GP indemnity right? If not,…
To ask the Minister of Health, given that orthopaedic hubs are to assist with reducing waiting times, (i) whether their remit is to focus on less complex day case surgeries; and (ii) whether patients with more complex needs, such as those with comorbidities or who are older, will have longer treatment waits.
I thank the Minister for his statement. I particularly welcome the 27 jobs that he has announced for Ballykelly, which is in my constituency of East Londonderry. You will be aware, Minister, that Jubilee House in Ballykelly has significant capacity and boasts modern and cutting-edge technology. Are you able to give a…
Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. This is a very broad topic, so I will keep my comments very broad. It is one of the most important topics in the health structure, and it is a key pillar. How many times have we heard that if you fix social care, you begin to fix the wider health service? We very much support…
I begin by thanking Professor Ray Jones, the author of the independent review of children's social services. It is also important to recognise the three experts who assisted: Marie Roulston OBE, Judge Patricia Smyth and Professor Pat Dolan. I commend the thorough work undertaken by the review team. Their efforts have…
I thank the Minister for coming to the House today. Does he agree that this scandal and the story from last week shine a very bright light on how important it is that it is made as easy as possible for patients and staff, regardless of their roles, to share their experiences, that sharing their experiences is…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the actions his Department is taking to lessen the impact for road users affected by the A2 Clooney Road Active Travel Scheme.
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Social Care Reform”
Social Care Reform - Amendment 1 Insert after ‘when they need them;’: ‘is concerned that current charging arrangements for adult social care in Northern Ireland are unfair and inconsistent; believes the Department of Health should explore the potential benefits of independent price regulation within the care sector;’
To ask the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the concerns of the British Medical Association in relation to how the GP Indemnity is being funded.
I thank the Minister for his statement. Can he give an assurance that action point 5 is not a case of his Department putting a proverbial gun to the head of the population of the Causeway region that only when they accept the removal of emergency general surgery at Causeway Hospital will it be designated as an…
Mr Robinson asked the Minister of Health whether he has given any thought to withdrawing the consultation on the public health Bill and starting afresh, given that, in a recent intervention, he said that he was not in favour of mandatory vaccinations.
