Mr Honeyford asked the Minister of Health, after making clear that his question was not party political, what had changed for patients and staff as a result of his Department, according to the auditor, having poured £2·5 billion into IT systems over the past three years alone, including all the overruns and failures.

To ask the Minister of Finance to detail when funding will be made available to implement recommendations from the Review Body on Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration Fifty Third Report: 2025, given the pension tax consequences caused by delays in recent years.
I appreciate your giving way. I agree with everything that you have said to this point, Sinéad, but was there anything in what I said or any part of the motion that says that we would not work together to deliver for people on a cross-border basis?
I beg to move Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. The latest figures, released this week, show that almost 25,000, or 10%, of our young people between the ages of 16 and 24 are not in education, employment or training (NEET). They are without hope and have had their futures put on hold. Rather than table one on…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to outline the urgent steps her Department is taking to establish, a co-design group to redesign the Go Succeed enterprise support model, based on the findings of the interim evaluation.

To ask the Minister for the Economy to outline how evidence from (i) the full Go Succeed interim evaluation; (ii) the NI Enterprise Barometer; and (iii) international best practice, will inform the redesign of the Go Succeed programme.
We support the motion. I am laughing at some of the comments that have been made in the Chamber, because we come at the motion with a focus on creating jobs, greater investment, exports for our businesses, connectivity, support for our business community and opportunities for everyone; we are not that focused on the…
What further support does the Minister need from his Executive colleagues over the next year as he addresses the crisis in water quality across Northern Ireland?

To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for an update on whether any acceptable geotechnical submissions have been received by her Department from the developer's consultants, in relation to the Ayrshire development, Lisburn.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail (i) the options her Department considered to provide a right turn lane from the A26 Glenavy Road on to Station Road, Moira; and (ii) the rationale for why each option was found to be unviable.
Last week, the Minister announced £82 million of spending for 20 clubs, but he has only £36 million available. The GAA, Ulster Rugby, Ulster Hockey and all the other sports also need capital investment, so can the Minister tell us what other capital funding he is exploring to bridge that funding gap so that we can…
I welcome the Minister's statement earlier, what she has said in answering the question and last week's announcement about the new renewables scheme. However, it is all developer-led. I have repeatedly asked for a Department plan to link all of that together to give confidence that we will move forward in a way that…
I welcome the statement and thank the Minister for providing it to us earlier. Minister, you talked about the uplift, and that is verified, but what is different today from what was in place last year? What has changed? Do you accept that RHI has been mismanaged by the Department and that trust has been damaged? What…

To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail the number of young people with special educational needs who are not in education, employment or training.
I remind the Member that it was not us who closed the line in the first place or who reduced the service. That part of Lagan Valley has not changed. The area between Ballinderry and Glenavy remain the same. We have waited too long for progress on this matter. It is two years since Translink's feasibility study came…
