To ask the Minister of Health when the regional model for transient ischaemic attack assessment will be operational, which will deliver a seven days a week service of specialist assessment within 24 hours of symptoms.
While you emphasise upstream prevention, Minister, can you explain how you will ensure that these enhanced verification measures will not create additional barriers for vulnerable claimants who are genuinely entitled to support, particularly those with mental health issues and learning disabilities?
Thank you for giving way, Minister, and for providing that clarity. Will the test purchasing by councils, which your Department funds, continue beyond the 2009 age group to ensure that people are stopped from buying tobacco?
What assurances can the Minister give to clubs with existing 3G pitches about support and advice when the pitches' surfaces reach the end of their lifespan and require replacement post 2031?
Thank you. I go back to the Member's previous point about the comparison of alcohol and tobacco. Does the Member agree that alcohol is regulated? We can buy alcohol only in certain places, and we can buy it only above a certain age limit. As with tobacco, regulation of alcohol has made a dangerous product safer for…
I rise in favour of the LCM and would welcome Northern Ireland's inclusion in the Tobacco and Vapes Bill. I thank the Minister for bringing the LCM to the Assembly. Like other Members, I know how hard it is to quit smoking. It is certainly very addictive. The main purpose of the Bill is to introduce a new offence to…
In February, we acknowledge Heart Month, a time to consider the importance of taking care of our heart and to improve our understanding of heart and circulatory conditions. The statistics speak for themselves. Heart disease causes nearly a quarter of deaths in Northern Ireland: around 4,200 deaths every year. Today,…
To ask the Minister of Education for his assessment of the impact that the increase in employers’ National Insurance contributions will have on the ability of children with special educational needs and disabilities to attend school through home-to-school transport.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline what steps they are taking to ensure their Department’s communication on social media is accessible to everyone.
To ask the Minister of Health whether his Department will conduct research into whether there are any health inequalities faced by people living in rural areas regarding cancer diagnoses.
Mr Donnelly asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to detail how the sustainable agriculture programme will improve environmental sustainability.
Thank you. Does the Minister agree that the mental health strategy cannot help to combat the mental health crisis that we are in when it is not being funded adequately?
I thank the Opposition for tabling a motion on the most critical issue that we face: the crisis in our health service. We have just discussed how important devolution is for Northern Ireland, and the repetitive cycle of institutional collapse has had a devastating impact on our democracy and on the public's trust in…
To ask the Minister of Health whether he plans to bring Northern Ireland into line with Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland by setting a target date for a smoke-free society.
To ask the Minister of Health when the respiratory tranche two priorities, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, will be taken forward through working groups.
To ask the Minister of Health for an update on the tranche one respiratory working groups (i) adult asthma; (ii) paediatrics; (iii) interstitial lung disease; and (iv) primary care.
To ask the Minister of Health for an update on progression towards delivering a lung health strategy, including any timescales planned by his Department.
I have had a similar experience since becoming part of the APG. My timelines are now flooded with tweets and things about free spins. Does the Member agree that free spins seem to be an incredibly harmful thing to offer online? If we were handing out free shots of alcohol to alcoholics or free cigarettes to smokers in…
