Mr Andy Allen MBE: Assembly records
All of Mr Andy Allen MBE’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 whether he will expand community-based eye care services, such as (i) PEARS Plus; (ii) glaucoma management; and (iii) urgent care pathway, in order to cut waiting lists and reduce preventable sight loss.
To ask the Minister of Health what assessment has been made of the impact that moving more eyecare into the community would have on reducing waiting lists and preventing avoidable sight loss.
The Member, in her response to the Minister, said that he could have factored in an assumption. If the Minister were to do that, can the Member give a guarantee that we would not then be back here criticising the Minister for making an assumption?
The Minister rightly referred to what people want us to do. Another area that I think of and, indeed, declare an interest in as a disabled person is access in society. The community infrastructure fund, for example, will improve community access, but has the Minister anything under active consideration for improving…
Twenty clubs are pleased to be moving forward to the next phase of the fund, but, equally, many more clubs are frustrated that they are not moving forward. Minister, what engagement is your Department having with those clubs to better understand their needs and to understand what the Department can do to support them?
Mr Allen asked the Minister for Communities, given his reference to the Olympic legacy fund and thinking also of the community infrastructure fund, what funding he has at his disposal for future announcements in light of recent and previous ones.
I thank the Minister for her response. A large volume of complaints are received each year by the Trading Standards Service. Will the Minister give her assessment of the effectiveness of the Trading Standards Service? How many of those complaints resulted in prosecution?
I echo the First Minister's comments in sending our best wishes to Deborah. First Minister, thank you for your answer. Will you provide clarification on the number of people who have applied but not been successful in receiving support under VSS and say why they were not successful?
I welcome the opportunity to speak on the motion. At the heart of it lies an unacceptable reality: in 2025, people in Northern Ireland are still being intimidated and targeted in their homes. Whether the attacks are sectarian or racist, they are criminal acts and a direct assault on the values of respect, tolerance…
As someone who knows the importance of sport and has had the honour of competing on an international stage, I welcome the fund. It will be welcomed by many grassroots clubs and organisations. Minister, how did the Department arrive at the determination to split the funding between government funding and the 35%…
I congratulate all the clubs that were successful in this phase, and I recognise the frustration of many others. Moreover, it would be remiss of me not to commend the Minister for finally progressing that much-needed fund. Minister, it has been said that the total estimated cost of the funding for projects will be £98…
