To ask the Minister of Health to outline what measures he will take to improve respite services for carers in the Northern Health and Social Care Trust.
Thanks for your answer, Minister. Can you advise me on the part that the private sector plays, or played, in achieving those numbers? If an individual is referred to the private sector by the trust, and the private sector is not fit to deal with that person, who then goes back to the trust, where is that person on the…
Minister, do you recognise the need to ensure that arts funding is distributed in a fair and impartial manner across Northern Ireland, including in rural areas and in support for marching bands?
On Saturday past, I attended a service to commemorate the murder of Reginald McCollum, who was murdered 30 years ago on Saturday in Armagh. Reggie — I knew him as Reggie — was 19 years of age. Nineteen. He was two years younger than me. Reggie was a typical young fella: he worked on a local farm and did all that young…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline the amount of funding that has been allocated to each victims and survivors group in Mid Ulster.
In your remarks, you made the point that pig farmers are putting slurry into rivers that run into Lough Neagh. Will you confirm to the House how many reports you have made to the NIEA about that?

To ask the Minister for Communities to detail (i) the cost of benefit fraud; and (ii) the extent of recovery in relation to benefit fraud, in each of the last five years.
I thank the Minister for his statement. I welcome the point, towards the end of the statement, about Sperrinview Special School, which will benefit the kids of mid-Ulster. My question is about finances. At the start of your statement, you referred to a figure of approximately £0·5 billion. Will you give a wee bit more…
Thank you, Minister, for your statement and answers. You indicated in your statement that 1·1 million vehicle tests were carried out in the past two years. Are the current 15 test centres operating at maximum capacity and doing 100%, bearing in mind that you are going to add 20% with Mallusk and Hydebank?

To ask the Minister for the Economy whether his Department plans to introduce grants for the installation of green energy alternatives, such as anaerobic digestion, in the 2024-25 financial year.
I beg to move I declare an interest as a member of the Policing Board. We welcome the opportunity to throw a spotlight on the actions of those who use their vehicles as weapons to target and attack police officers in south Armagh and throughout Northern Ireland. It is unacceptable that vehicles are weaponised against…
I thank the Minister for his answers so far. Staying on the emissions theme, as we speak, the transport sector — lorries and cars — sits in Cookstown, waiting to get through it, which will take approximately 30 minutes. As the public information scheme is on today, will you commit to delivering the Cookstown bypass or…
I thank the Minister for his response. My mother is a service user, and I see the work that those workers carry out day and daily. When will the four additional providers that he mentioned make a real impact in the Northern Trust area? The Northern Trust has one of the largest backlogs in Northern Ireland. Recently, a…
I thank the Minister for his statement. Minister, can you give me some indication of what broad implications the changes will have for the building and construction sectors?
I rise to pay tribute to the commitment, dedication and achievements of Stuart Dallas, a lad from Cookstown who rose to the pinnacle of not only local football but top-flight Premiership and international football, including Euro 2016 in France. Stuart grew up in Cookstown and played for Coagh United and Crusaders,…
