Mr Colin McGrath: Assembly records
All of Mr Colin McGrath’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. "The stark options facing the HSC system are either to resist change and see services deteriorate to the point of collapse over time, or to embrace transformation and work to create a modern, sustainable service that is properly equipped to help people stay as healthy as…
Obviously, all of those measures are welcome and help to allay the fears of parents and children as they go to and from school. Has the Minister given any consideration to the introduction of School Streets schemes, which could help with some of the most intense problems, such as the one at Edward Street in…
I thank the Minister for his statement. It is 93 paragraphs of a superabundance of areas of operational responsibility. You never duck any questions that are asked on statements or at Question Time, which is welcome. In paragraph 20, you reference improving water quality across Northern Ireland. Will you enable your…
I welcome the news about the €60 million contract that has been awarded for the construction of Narrow Water bridge. The fact that we have multiple representatives speaking about it in the Chamber today shows not only how important it is to the people of south Down but how neglected south Down has been for many years…
I will quickly make a few remarks. I was not intending to speak in the debate, and any suggestions that my remarks look like the ones that Sinéad did not get the chance to make are entirely scurrilous. I appreciate being able to take part in the debate. One of the best things about it is that nearly half of the…
I thank the Minister. Given that there is a bit of extra time, will some engagement take place with counterpart Ministers in the South to ensure that the schemes are equal, so that we can avoid a lot of the confusion from having a different scheme on either side of the border?
What does the deputy First Minister have to say to my constituents who have unwanted flags flying outside their homes for the whole summer? Will she commit to including a legal framework for removing those flags in the Programme for Government, whether we get it this summer or not?
"I know that we have many shared priorities, and those will be reflected today, but we must deliver more. We must deliver more on affordable childcare to support workers and families, and more on social and affordable homes, because everybody has the right to call somewhere their home. We must transform our health and…
Surveillance of Journalists To ask the Minister for Justice what engagement she has had with the UK Government about the routine surveillance of journalists by police and intelligence services.
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Extreme Pressures in Primary Care”
Extreme Pressures in Primary Care - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘primary care settings;’ and insert: ‘calls on the Minister of Health to publish a timescale for the full implementation of multi-disciplinary teams across the North; and further calls on the Minister of Health to provide an indemnity scheme for GPs…
To ask the Minister of Justice what engagement she has had with the UK Government regarding the routine surveillance of journalists by police and intelligence services.
To ask the Minister for Communities for an update on engagement between his Department and the Department for Work and Pensions in relation to the findings of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman report on changes to Women’s State Pension age.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the amount spent on the community and voluntary sector in each of the last five years, broken down by Health and Social Care Trust.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the amount spent on mental health care in each of the last five years, broken down by Health and Social Care Trust.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the amount spent on GP locum cover in each of the last five years, broken down by Health and Social Care Trust.
Thank you, Mr Speaker. I begin by thanking all Members who participated for the way in which they contributed. They added to the conversation that we need to have, and this is an appropriate place in which to have it. It has been good to have those contributions in order to allow us to continue with the discussions.…
I ask the Minister to use every effort to get a cross-Executive response to this. Farming is a business, and those businesspeople are suffering as a result of the flooding, yet other businesses were helped and assisted. It seems that farmers have been left to fall between the cracks. Will the Minister undertake to…
We are where we are. We have got to the Final Stage of the Bill, and I have no doubt that it will progress today. I am disappointed that none of the suggestions that we made about speeding up the process was accepted. The news today is that a company has been appointed to make the installations. That speeds things up.…
To ask the Minister of Health whether he will consider introducing redress mechanisms in his Department which will provide resolution and compensation to patients without the need for legal action.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the processes he will put in place to ensure medical negligence cases are settled or closed in the shortest possible timeframe.
All-Ireland Tourism Strategy - Amendment 3 Insert at end: ‘and further calls on the Minister for the Economy to publish and fund a tourism strategy and action plan by September 2024, and ensure that it includes specific provision to extend the Wild Atlantic Way into Northern Ireland, promote the city of Derry as the…
