All of Mrs Diane Dodds’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Minister, I thank you, because you have reacted to a pretty appalling situation across Northern Ireland. My question is on the differentials between the offerings in different trust areas. I have been involved in a case in which the parents moved from the Southern Trust, where they had overnight stays, to the South…
The British Heart Foundation's 'Bias and Biology' report was launched in Parliament Buildings last Wednesday. The report highlights a very important element of healthcare in Northern Ireland: the systemic gender inequalities that exist across the cardiac care pathway. It provides recommendations for closing that heart…
Delays to Flagship Maternity and Children’s Hospital Project That this Assembly deplores the lack of progress, and action, towards transforming our health service since the restoration of the Executive; believes it is unacceptable, given that the Department of Health accounts for over half of all day-to-day spend from…

I thank the proposers of the motion and the amendment for the opportunity to contribute to a very important debate. Since joining the Health Committee in February of this year, I have met and talked to a wide range of individuals who have been dreadfully let down by the healthcare system in Northern Ireland. They have…
Thank you, Minister. Like previous contributors, I am glad to see the prioritisation of Health. I particularly look forward to seeing how the Minister will help healthcare workers maintain the parity for which they fought for so long. Will you require a plan from each Minister as to how they will live within their…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the percentage reduction in suicide rate that has been achieved over the course of the Protect Life 2 Suicide Prevention Strategy.
To ask the Minister of Health, in light of the bacteria found in the new Maternity Hospital, for his assessment of the appropriateness of the proposed (i) design of the water system; and (ii) number of water outlets at the new Children’s Hospital.
To ask the Minister of Health to outline how concerns of Assurance Groups within the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust are escalated through its governance arrangements to senior management and the Trust Board.
To ask the Minister of Health for a breakdown of the estimated costs of reparative works, including replacing pipework, at the Acute Mental Health Inpatient Centre at Belfast City Hospital.
Thank you, Minister. In Northern Ireland, over 220,000 people provide unpaid care for ill and disabled family members. They save the Northern Ireland Executive up to £5·8 billion a year, yet they are not specifically mentioned in the Programme for Government. Will you ensure that these people, who provide such a…
In many ways, Minister, we talk a lot about inclusivity in the House, but the Bill is a real move towards inclusivity for a section of our community that has often found itself to be invisible. Given that you talked about the cross-cutting nature of the Bill, what commitments have you had from the Finance Minister…
Mrs Dodds asked the Minister for Communities, given that the recent announcement in the Budget on the national minimum wage means that 61,000 more carers in England and 7,000 more carers in Scotland will be able to access carer's allowance, how many more carers in Northern Ireland will be able to access carer's…
To ask the Minister of Health to outline how the numbers of (i) outpatient appointments; (ii) inpatient admissions; (iii) Emergency Department attendances; and (iv) community care packages have changed in the six years from 2018 to 2024.
To ask the Minister of Health to outline the rationale for health procurements occurring through organisations other than the Central Procurement Directorate.
To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQW 16227/22-27, (i) how many outlets tested positive for pseudomonas aeruginosa since handover of the new Maternity Hospital in Belfast from the contractor; and (ii) how many positive tests have been detected overall.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any consideration the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service has given to the likelihood that the restriction of the maximum annual mileage of the Voluntary Car Service will (i) reduce the service provided; and (ii) require more expensive transport options.
