Mr Danny Donnelly: Assembly records
All of Mr Danny Donnelly’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I, too, wish to raise serious concerns about the decision to exclude independent-sector care workers from the latest pay uplift and, equally, about the way in which the entire package has been managed. The Minister has confirmed that £209 million has been allocated to pay uplifts following the recommendations of the…
Mr Donnelly asked the Minister for the Economy, who, last Monday, along with the Member, attended the North West and Larne Community Wealth Building Partnerships event in the Long Gallery, about the importance of alignment between locally designed initiatives and local economic partnerships in addressing regional…
To ask the Minister of Health, given the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) keeps its advice on seasonal flu vaccination programmes under regular review, to detail (i) what contingency plans are in place should the JCVI change its guidelines; and (ii) to detail within what timeframe could his…
To ask the Minister of Health whether there are any plans to record and publish the specific data required for the standardised mortality ratio in order to ascertain the number of excess deaths associated with long waits in Emergency Departments.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any assessment he has made on the capacity of the health and social care system to manage the combined pressures of rising flu cases and other winter demands.
I thank the Minister. Minister, could I ask you for a bit more of your reaction to how the DUP, including the deputy First Minister, voted against yesterday's motion on an independent environmental protection agency?
I thank the Opposition for tabling the motion, which we will support. Like other contributors to the debate, I am happy that healthcare workers will get their pay uplift, albeit at the end of February 2026, and that pay uplifts will be prioritised next year. I feel a bit like a broken record when talking about winter…
Pressure on PSNI due to Health System Failings That this Assembly expresses grave concern that failings in the health and social care system are forcing the PSNI to act as the service of last resort for those facing mental ill-health or other forms of health crisis; expresses further severe concern that the PSNI…
I thank the Member for tabling this incredibly important topic for debate and bringing attention to the lived experience of disabled children and their families across Northern Ireland. I got an email from Erin as well, and I wrote to the trust to ask it what services were currently available in Belfast Trust…
Thank you, Deputy Speaker. First, I thank all Members across the House for their contributions. It has been a sensitive debate, and the contributions from across the House have been very positive. I thank the DUP for its amendment, which we will support. The amendment adds to the motion. Two years have passed since…
We are all aware that, without reform, this place is only as stable as it was the day before its last collapse. Minister, what impact has the collapse of the institutions had on agriculture?
We are all aware that getting a cancer diagnosis is an incredibly stressful time in someone's life and that attending for treatment is incredibly important. How many cancer patients in the past year either missed or had treatment appointments delayed due to transport issues?
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for his assessment of the Independent Review of Environmental Governance in Northern Ireland.
To me and others, it appears to be a rushed and uncoordinated paper that does not contain much that is new. It was published at short notice on social media before it was even sent to members of the Health Committee. Why did the Minister not think that it was worth taking the time to consult the organisations that…
The Minister will be aware that 89% of Northern Ireland's businesses are microenterprises, many of which operate in our town centres. How does the Minister envisage the LEPs supporting town-centre regeneration and the growth of the small businesses that are so vital to the local economy?
Winter Preparedness Plan 2025-26 To ask the Minister of Health to outline how the actions in his Overarching Winter Preparedness Plan, published on 16 October 2025, will reduce pressure on the health services during winter months.
I thank the Minister for giving way. Minister, you said that the Department did not remove funds from the core grant scheme. The core grant scheme had funding of £3·6 million a year when it was set up, but that was then halved to £1·8 million a year. Many groups and services that deliver vital services across Northern…
