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.
Like others, I commend the incredible work of the community and voluntary sector in providing vital mental health services to some of the most vulnerable members of our society. Those organisations are certainly the lifeblood of the place that we call home. They offer support and care and give hope to those who often…
It is with profound regret that we have had to debate the state of mental health provision in the Province. Despite the progress that we have made in some areas, the state of mental healthcare remains deeply troubling. The sour truth is that the number of lives lost to suicide in Northern Ireland exceeds the number of…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Mental Health Provision in Northern Ireland”

I again address the growing crisis in our health service — a crisis that touches every corner of Northern Ireland and affects every one of us in the Assembly and, more importantly, the people whom we all represent. Our health service continues to be at breaking point. As is said ad nauseum, urgent action and financial…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure (i) whether blue-green algae blooms are present at Ballinrees Reservoir at Windyhill Road, Coleraine; and (ii) how widespread are these blooms.
I am the right Alan. Does the Minister agree that the projects in the Causeway Coast and Glens that are now at risk are absolutely vital to that region? Does she agree that the action of the Labour Government in announcing the pause was an absolutely despicable way to treat the people of the Causeway Coast and Glens…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any discussions his Department has had with the Royal College of Radiologists in relation to improving recruitment into clinical oncology and to ensure all training places are filled.
I thank the Minister for his statement. Like others, I share my anger at the Labour decision. What engagement did the Minister receive from the Labour Government in advance of their decision?

I thank the Minister for his update to the House. Will he also update the House on what additional funding he intends to allocate to the Coleraine campus?
