The alarm bells rang in this Building earlier today to call us to order, but it is safe to say that alarm bells are ringing about the future of our health service. Yet another day, yet another crisis in health. The mounting pressures that weigh on our health system make me, as the father of a young child and a citizen…
To ask the Minister of Health (i) for an update on the 5 per cent consolidated pay uplift and £1505 non-consolidated payment for Health and Social Care Agenda for Change staff; and (ii) when these will be paid.
I beg to move Thank you, Mr Speaker. How many Members can say that they have never fielded a call to their office from patients struggling to get through to a GP surgery? I would safely say that not one of us can. I could tell you of multiple complaints to my office. I have struggled to access GP services, my staff…
I very much value the deputy First Minister's comments. I am pleased that she and her Department, in conjunction with the sports Minister, have committed to promoting that event. Will maximum opportunity also be given to another major sporting event next year — the Open at Royal Portrush?
Mr Robinson asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister for the deputy First Minister’s assessment of the North West 200 and to state whether she agrees that it really is a world-class event that brings huge benefits to our shores.
I will begin my contribution in a positive way by highlighting the picturesque retreats that dot our north coast. There is no doubt that the coastline and the towns and villages that we represent in East Londonderry are truly stunning, world-class and highly sought-after places for visiting and living in. All of us in…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether his Department has plans to carry out an assessment for the provision of a traffic light system at the Strand Road roundabout, Coleraine, similar to the traffic light system at the Lodge Road roundabout.
Thank you, Minister. In your statement, you informed the House that there will be a need for up to eight new special schools across the Province over the next decade. Do you have an early indication of where those schools may be located and what the process for delivery will be?
Thank you, Minister, for facilitating a meeting this morning with Rossmar School. I thank my constituency colleague Cara Hunter for attending that meeting and supporting me. Your statement is very timely, Minister, and I very much appreciate the fact that you referred to Sandelford School in Coleraine. Can you give…
Like others, I thank Robbie for tabling the motion. Imagine the only company that you have is a clock ticking in a room. We have all been there, but, for us, it is likely to have been short-lived. For thousands of others in our Province, that is their daily reality. Feeling lonely is a seemingly innocuous emotion, but…
I offer my congratulations to Limavady United Football Club, which has won the Playr-Fit premier intermediate league championship. That will see the club play in the championship next season, and, given the team that has been built by the manager, Paul Owens, which he has retained and added to, I have no doubt that it…
Mr Robinson asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, further to the question posed by his colleague David Brooks from East Belfast, whether, in the short term, the First Minister expects further financial support from the Treasury to help to address Stormont’s funding concerns.
I begin, as others have, by commending foster carers past and present throughout Northern Ireland for their vital contribution. Those unsung heroes have played a key role in shaping the lives of our most vulnerable children and young people. Their dedication, compassion and unwavering commitment creates safe havens…
On a similar theme to that of other Members, I express my sincerest condolences to those who have lost loved ones who are part of the sad and ever-growing stats that we have before us today. The debate has been conducted in the right tone, and those who have lost loved ones have been central to it. I absolutely…
My contribution today will be short because, as for other Members, the points that I wanted to raise during last week's Second Stage and the queries that I wanted to pose have, on the whole, been answered. One matter that I raised during my contribution last week, Minister, was not addressed. It is the issue of…
To ask the Minister of Health for his assessment of the issues raised by the Royal College of Nursing during their evidence session with the Committee for Health on 18 April 2024.
