Remembering the defeat and the end of empires is an important thing historically but also in a contemporary sense. As others have said, however, accuracy is key, including telling the story of the genocide against Native Americans, the transatlantic slave trade and the role of people from here who were connected to…
My family and my community have been deeply affected by alcoholism. I am well aware of its dangers but remain unconvinced that this is the best way of dealing with it. Minister, will you confirm that, with minimum unit pricing, any money raised would not have gone into the health service or to the state but would have…
Before I come on to my statement, I want to briefly wish William Mooney well. He has been an usher in the Building for, I think, 28 years. He certainly helped me to navigate the Building when I was lost in the first few years. I wish him well in his retirement. I am sure that others do, too. Today, it has been…
Addressing the Mental Health Crisis That this Assembly expresses grave concern over the mental health crisis and the findings from the Northern Ireland Health Survey that, in 2021-22, approximately one in five adults showed indications of possible mental health problems; notes with alarm that the number of…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail (i) who the deputy First Minister held meetings with in Washington over the St. Patrick's Day period; and (ii) whether minutes were taken of the meetings.
It will be harder the second time. Does the Member agree that "cross-departmental working" and "non-silo mentality" are always trotted by parties across the House but their use seems to have been in short supply during this debate? Hopefully you got that second time around.
I thank the Member for giving way. Does he agree that, in debates in the House, "cross-departmental working" and "non-silo mentality" are always trotted out by parties but those terms do not really seem to have been used in abundance today?
I appreciate the Member's giving way, and I agree with her about the cost of doing nothing. Doing nothing will have a cost as well. Does she also have a concern that doing nothing will have not only a financial impact but a societal health impact on her constituents, my constituents and everybody's constituents across…
Mr Speaker, apologies for missing my question during Question Time. It will, I hope, never happen again. I will speak briefly in support of the Bill. It is not a catch-all Bill, which the Member recognises, but it is certainly a step in the right direction. I met the RSPB today about the Bill. I encourage Members to…
Thank you, Mr Speaker, for selecting this important matter for debate. I extend my sympathy and solidarity to the friends and family of Amy Doherty, a young mother of two who was murdered in Derry at the weekend. As other Members said, she was the thirtieth woman killed since 2020, which is unbelievable when you say…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the circumstances under which a person previously detained for treatment under the Mental Health (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 on Article 15 in a specialist care home, who is subsequently moved to be subject to a deprivation of liberty authorisation under the Mental Capacity Act…
To ask the Minister of Health whether he plans to expand capacity within anaesthetics, in light of his Department's Elective Care Framework and Reset Plan for waiting lists.
