Mr Keith Buchanan: Assembly records
All of Mr Keith Buchanan’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Thank you for your statement, Minister. You said that the outbreak may have been the result of midges. We are speculating on that. There remains a risk from importing animals from other parts of Europe. Given that it appears that bluetongue is now a reality in Northern Ireland — hopefully, it is not, but let us say…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Pressure on PSNI due to Health System Failings”
Pressure on PSNI due to Health System Failings - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘resource budget’ and insert: ‘and the PSNI being in urgent need of additional funding with both staff and officer numbers at a critically low level; calls on the Minister of Health to prioritise delivery of the Mental Health Strategy…
We are united in our determination to build a Police Service of Northern Ireland that is open to every section of society. However, let us also be honest: the ombudsman's recent report makes harrowing reading. It lays bare the tragic consequences of under-resourcing our Police Service. A prolific abuser was able to…
Thanks for that answer, Minister. I mentioned that there is a big disparity. Some of the farmers are being offered £16,000, £17,000 or £18,000 per acre, yet it costs close to £30,000 to replace that land. What would you therefore say to farmers or landowners in the A5 area? There are over 300 of them, and they have…
Mr K Buchanan asked the Minister of Finance, using the A5 as an example, having acknowledged that there is an ongoing legal case concerning that road, what his Department can do to look at bridging the gap between the Land and Property Services (LPS) valuation figure per acre of agricultural land and the figure that…
I thank the Minister for his answer. Minister, in May 2025, you initiated the regional breast cancer assessment system to reduce times. When do you envisage that that will meet the 14-day target?
First Minister, in the period between 2011 and 2015, 150,000 people claimed to be asylum seekers. In the period from 2021 to 2025, there were 400,000 such claimants, which is a massive increase. In your opinion, as First Minister for this region of the United Kingdom, is there a problem?
Mr K Buchanan asked the Minister of Health, given that only 33% of cancer patients have their treatment started within the 62-day target, whether he will produce a specific action plan designed to stabilise cancer waiting times.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) the number of; and (ii) location of, Changing Places toilets in hospitals, in each Health and Social Care Trust building; and (ii) whether there are any plans to make such facilities mandatory in all new builds and refurbishments.
Thank you for your answer, Minister. You indicated that you will make some form of decision at the back end of this year. When will the implementation of that decision be rolled out? What is the timeline for people on the ground seeing a cost reduction? A bit of a process is involved. When therefore will increased…
The Infrastructure Minister previously blamed the issue with waste water capacity on Tory austerity, and now she is blaming it on British Government austerity — there has been a change in the line there. Does the Minister agree with the assessment that it is the Government's fault?
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for their assessment of the recent asylum policy reforms announced by the Prime Minister in October 2025.
In the COVID times, we saw the benefits of forests, and many people went to them. Obviously, that is still developing, because more and more people are going to them. Can you provide an update on what your Department is doing to put right the devastating damage caused by the storms at the start of the year? I…
I rise to express my deep concern about, and unequivocal condemnation of, a recent event that was held in south-east Fermanagh that sought to commemorate Jim Lynagh, a man whose legacy is steeped in violence, terror and murder. Let me be absolutely clear: there is nothing thought-provoking about the campaign of…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to outline the amount spent by her Department in repairing road signs that include the name Londonderry over the last five years.
