All of Ms Cheryl Brownlee’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I very much welcome the fact that the pilot will take place in Larne, which is in my East Antrim constituency. Will the Minister provide some more detail on the scheme and what it will mean for local people?
To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) any guidance in place for GP's regarding the provision of aftercare for patients who have received private treatment, particularly in situations where the patient is unable to access private follow-up care due to mobility, transport, or health reasons; and (ii) whether his…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail the Communities in Transition projects funded in East Antrim, in each of the last 2 years.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail a breakdown of the funding provided through the Regional Change Fund for Ending Violence Against Women and Girls, in East Antrim.
I appreciate that, and I know that you are only a part-funder of the scheme, but what really concerns me is access to funds, particularly in rural areas. Anything that you can do to promote the scheme and to encourage as many people in East Antrim to apply to it will be much appreciated.
I thank the Minister. Sea swimming is incredibly popular in the likes of Fisherman's Quay. We have a triathlon, sea swimmers, sea dippers and everything in between. Mid and East Antrim Borough Council nominated Fisherman's Quay, but the Department turned it down. Areas such as Carrickfergus are being left behind in…
Ms Brownlee asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs whether, as a part-funder of the digital transformation flexible fund (DTFF), he is as concerned as she is that, out of 18 successful applications, only two were from Carrickfergus, while none were from Larne, thus leaving East Antrim…
To ask the Minister for the Economy for a breakdown of Invest NI support in the Mid and East Antrim local council area, broken down in the areas of (i) Ballymena; (ii) Larne; and (iii) Carrickfergus.
To ask the Minister for the Economy, in light of Mid and East Antrim recording one of the lowest number of applications for Invest NI support in Northern Ireland, to outline the measures her Department is taking to ensure that this area is adequately supported to attract investment and avail of economic development…
To ask the Minister of Justice to outline any work she has undertaken with the PSNI to (i) streamline recruitment for former police officers seeking to return to the Police Service, without repeating basic training; and (ii) permit the transfer of police officers from other UK jurisdictions, to address current PSNI…
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I commend every Member who has spoken in the debate. It is a such a serious and emotional topic for us all, and I feel that there is real, genuine compassion. Speaking freely today about perinatal mental health is critical. For all mothers, the birth of their baby is meant to be the best…
Thank you, Minister. It is fantastic that you have brought the matter to the House today. You touched on barriers. Accessible transport is a huge barrier to people getting into and staying in work. At this stage, what communication has your Department had with other Departments to ensure that community transport is…
I thank the deputy First Minister for her answer. Beyond addressing the immediate and serious security concerns, what steps can be taken to promote a greater understanding of and respect for our Jewish community in Northern Ireland?
Ms Brownlee asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, in the certainty that the deputy First Minister joins her in sending sympathy and solidarity to those impacted by the synagogue attack in Manchester and knowing the impact that that attack will have on our small local Jewish community, what the Executive…
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, given the concerns regarding pollution in Belfast Lough, whether he will commit to expanding formally identified bathing water sites to include areas such as Carrickfergus, where open water swimming is becoming increasingly popular.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail (i) any mechanisms in place to monitor the implementation of the Armed Forces Act 2021 in schools; and (ii) how the effectiveness of these measures is evaluated.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail how schools are identifying and addressing the unique needs of children of service personnel, particularly regarding admissions, attendance, transport, and additional needs support.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail any steps taken to ensure that all schools are aware of the statutory duty under the Armed Forces Act 2021, and are trained to support children of service personnel.
I am delighted to see more delivery for our grassroots organisations, but, Minister, I understand that the funding will be paid out retrospectively. How will the Department address the worries of smaller organisations, which may struggle with cash flow if they have to pay up front?
I am delighted to speak on the motion. Whilst I am not a member of the Committee for the Economy, the Public Accounts Committee discussed the issue and had an inquiry. It was extremely interesting. Recently, we got the memoranda of reply (MOR), which was also very interesting. Obviously, we really want to build a…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Mother and Baby Unit”
Mother and Baby Unit - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘remain the only part of’ and insert: ‘the United Kingdom without a dedicated mother and baby unit; expresses concern at the ongoing lack of provision; calls on the Minister of Health to provide an update on the current business case for the establishment of a…
I welcome the opportunity to speak on such a deeply important issue: how the lived experience of women and girls in Northern Ireland who are suffering with reproductive health conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis is being routinely dismissed and neglected. Today, I want to tell a story…
I really do not think that the farmers will find Members' laughter to be a very good response to the topic. Over the weekend, the Ulster Farmers' Union (UFU) expressed its frustration about misinformation on how the NAP group has been working with no chairman or terms of reference. Will the Minister be clear about the…
