All of Mrs Deborah Erskine’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail what engagement (i) he; and (ii) his officials have had with the Western Health and Social Care Trust following his intervention to pause the public consultation on the permanent change to emergency general surgery at the South West Acute Hospital.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the breast screening waiting times in each of the last two years, broken down by Health and Social Care Trust, prior to the introduction of the regional waiting list for breast screening.
To ask the Minister of Education for an update on the decanting process for Enniskillen Royal Grammar School from their current site to the former Devenish College site.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail his engagement in relation to Emergency General Surgery Services within the Western Trust since he took up office.

To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any assessment that has taken place within her Department in relation to the stop-drive instruction from Citreon manufacturer, Stellantis UK, in respect of Citreon C3 and Citreon DS3 vehicles, including the impact it will have on (i) garages in Northern Ireland; (ii)…
To ask the Minister of Health to outline (i) when he was presented with the proposals to permanently cease Emergency General Surgery at the South West Acute Hospital; and (ii) when he signed off on the proposals going out to public consultation.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether agricultural land that has been vested and had construction works carried out on it along the route of the A5 Western Transport Corridor, will now be classified as developmental land for any future vesting orders.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to outline (i) when she will make publicly available the settlement paid to Worldwide Environmental Products, following recent court action; and (ii) where will the settlement be published.
The First Minister has said in the Chamber many times that she, her Ministers and Sinn Féin are taking time to seek legal advice on the court judgement on the A5. One option is to appeal the High Court decision. When I asked the Infrastructure Minister about that in the Infrastructure Committee last week, she…
There is a specific problem with attacks on masts. We have seen those in west Belfast recently and in some nationalist areas. It is important that there is leadership in relation to the attacks that have happened, because mobile infrastructure is vital for people's connectivity. I want to ask about the barrier busting…
Today, I launch the public consultation on my private Member's Bill, which will seek to tackle a long-standing and deeply frustrating problem for many homeowners and communities across Northern Ireland: unadopted developments. I urge the industry and homeowners to get involved by giving their views. The Bill is not…
Mrs Erskine asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, given that the Executive Office leads on the investment strategy for Northern Ireland and the A5 western transport corridor is the biggest investment project in Northern Ireland and that Climate Change Act (Northern Ireland) 2022 targets that were…
I thank the Finance Minister for his statement. Work has proceeded on the A5 route, and, in places, land is unrecognisable. Jobs have been lost, as have contracts that were in place with businesses. There will be financial impacts as a result of last week's High Court decision. I noted the Minister's response to Mr…
I thank the Minister for the work that he is doing on the anti-poverty strategy. He was the Minister who brought forward a strategy for consultation — I did not see too many others doing so. Has any impact assessment been carried out on Labour's changes, as proposed in the Green Paper, and how they may impact on…
The Department for Infrastructure is part of the clean air strategy, as I am sure that the Minister will agree. However, the AERA Minister cares so much about climate change emissions and targets that his Department did not have input into the A5 project. That project, therefore, is effectively stopped at the moment.…
Does the First Minister accept that climate change legislation and targets will have an impact on all Departments here, particularly on infrastructure and capital projects? The A5 and the all-island strategic rail review were mentioned. We cannot build at net zero; that is pretty much impossible. How does the First…
Before I start, I declare an interest by saying that my husband's family are landowners along the route of the A5. Today is one week since the A5 court ruling. That means that it has been one week with no plan on the way forward from the Infrastructure Minister and no public apology from Alliance, the SDLP and Sinn…
