Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I thank all those who spoke in the debate. We can agree that it was a constructive discussion on a very important issue. I will touch on the contributions of other Members shortly. We have spent much time discussing the many pressures facing our health and social care…
Thank you for that confirmation, Minister. I hope that "the coming weeks" means a short period. One thing that was very clear in all the contributions was the need for us to go upstream and have important early interventions. Many Members noted that again and again. There is no denying the fact that the group of…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Funding for the Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice”
Funding for the Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice - Amendment 1 After ‘inflationary pressures;’ insert: ‘agrees that the provision of palliative care should be a core Health and Social Care service and not dependent on charitable fundraising;’
The Minister has talked a lot about raising public confidence. Will he review the composition of the inquiries implementation programme board to ensure that there can be a level of confidence from the public and the families who have been affected? Quite simply, it could be perceived in this case that we are asking…
Following yesterday's debates, we know that mental health service provision across Northern Ireland is very inconsistent. Will the Minister commit to ensuring consistency across all trusts or enabling patients to access trusts, no matter where they live?
I thank the Minister for his answer. I am always very happy to hear about the Minister's going to Larne. Can he give any further details on what impact those actions are having on that cruel trade?
I welcome the Minister's statement. We all know that reform of the health service is long overdue and has stalled due to the political instability in this place. The Bengoa report was in 2016, and it described a "burning platform". We should have been eight years into a 10-year programme of reform, but, instead, we…

To ask the Minister of Health to detail any steps that can be taken to provide additional support this winter for people with cystic fibrosis who require a warm home to stay well.
I thank my SDLP colleagues for bringing the motion, and I reiterate the positive decision of the official Opposition to use their three Opposition day motions to focus on health, especially mental health. As was highlighted in the previous debate, it is clear that community and voluntary sector organisations provide…
I thank the SDLP for tabling this motion. As one of my party's spokespersons on health, I welcome the focus on health and especially mental health in these Opposition day motions. We have a mental health crisis in Northern Ireland, as has been pointed out. It is extremely concerning that the number of people whom we…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the steps being taken to ensure the availability of GLP-1 medication for GPs to prescribe, despite current shortages across the United Kingdom.
I thank the Minister for his answer. Is the Minister satisfied that the budget is sufficient to match the uplift in pay elsewhere in the public sector, while enabling InterTradeIreland to carry on and, indeed, enhance existing projects?
To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQW 8708/22-27, to detail the progress of the regional medical workforce review of Consultants, Specialists and Associate Specialists.
To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQW 8708/22-27, whether any service developments have resulted from these workstreams, including whether funding has been allocated towards their implementation.

To ask the Minister of Health, when a patient has been diagnosed with heart failure, to detail the waiting time from diagnosis to titration, broken down by Health and Social Care Trust.
Thank you, Principal Deputy Speaker. I thank all Members who contributed to the debate. The tone of the debate was quite right. I thank my DUP Health Committee colleagues Mrs Dodds and Mr Robinson for tabling the motion. We proposed the amendment for the reasons that were outlined by my party colleague Nuala…
