  1. Debate contribution: Hospital Parking Charges Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    It is an amendment to a Bill that is overturning a previous Act that overturned an original Act. Sometimes, when we get into the conversation on that, it can be confusing. I did say in my remarks — I will read them again — that all parties supported the Act four years ago, and we have to own the consequences of that,…

  2. Debate contribution: Hospital Parking Charges Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Thank you very much. I appreciate everybody's participation in the debate. I do not intend to take very long. We actually almost brought some harmony to the Chamber with the Minister's giving way to Diane Dodds and taking those points, and the leader of the Opposition's getting some exceptional powers as well in the…

  3. Debate contribution: Hospital Parking Charges Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I beg to move amendment No 1: When I last spoke on the Bill, I described the entire process as "a farce". Today, I stand not just to repeat that but to fix one part of it, because that is what a constructive Opposition do. We have in front of us legislation that does one simple thing: delay. It delays a promise that…

  4. Debate contribution: Downe Hospital: Urgent Care Centre

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, I appreciate that you were busy in America. Lagan Valley Hospital and the Ulster Hospital were able to maintain their urgent care centres on the day, but it was the people of Downpatrick, on its busiest day of the year, who were left short at Downe Hospital. If you were not aware of that and you were not…

  5. Debate contribution: Pharmacy: Wholesaler Bills

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Community pharmacy provides a service that your Department has to provide, but it cannot do so with the funding that you are giving it. It is going to collapse. The Minister suggests that the £20 million clawback needs to be connected to new services. It was put to me recently that that is like giving nurses a pay…

  6. Debate contribution: Alcohol: Minimum Unit Pricing

    • Ministerial Statements

    Minister, it is highly regrettable that you are having to make this statement today despite the scientific evidence that supports minimum unit pricing and the moral argument that will undoubtedly be made by not introducing the legislation. You have said that you were unable to get Executive support for the…

  7. Debate contribution: Areas with Natural Constraints (Payments) Bill: Second Stage

    • Private Members' Business

    There is something deeply honest about a family farm. It is a way of life that is passed from one generation to the next. It is about early mornings in the dark and late evenings in the rain. It is about a commitment to the land, to animals and to the community, and it is a commitment that is never switched off. It is…

  8. Debate contribution: Controlled Schools Managing Authority

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    The adequate funding of all sectors of education is critical. The ring-fenced budget of the Youth Service is under severe threat. Does the Minister agree that the Youth Service is desperately important in our communities, that it needs to be funded and that a certain amount of protection came from that ring-fencing?…
