Assessment details for Oral question AQO 2985/22-27 Official Assembly record for Oral question AQO 2985/22-27
I thank the Member and the Minister for their interventions. I understand your point, Minister, but I would probably come at it from a different angle and say that the logic is this: let us look at what workforce we need and work from there. We know that the workforce does not exist and that, if we try to recruit, we…

Go raibh maith agat, a LeasCheann Comhairle. I thank all the Members who have spoken to the motion today, and the Minister for responding. I reiterate his words about the tone of the debate. There is little difference between what anybody in the Chamber has said. As I rise to wind on the motion, my sense of…

Based on the answer that you have just given, Minister, can we get more detail, possibly in writing, on why tests in the Southern Trust were not sent off? Am I correct in saying that GPs took samples but that those were not forwarded for testing and that women have since had to provide a second sample? I would like to…

I thank the Minister for his statement. Minister, many in the Chamber have called for a multi-year Budget for many years. Another thing that everyone in the Chamber has called for consistently is the transformation that is needed for effective delivery of our public services. Therefore, can you give us some detail…

My statement is directly related to the previous one. It is not on AI, but it is related. I will speak today about violence against women and girls and the easy narrative regarding that epidemic that the perpetrators are strangers, do not look or sound like us, are not our friends and family, do not play on our local…

To ask the Minister of Health to detail whether he is (i) aware of the recent guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommending new more personalised blood test thresholds to help general practitioners detect ovarian cancer earlier; and (ii) considering reviewing or updating the ovarian…

I support of the motion and the amendment, because the crisis in neurology services in the North is not abstract or distant, and it is not something that can be ignored. These experiences are being lived every day by thousands of people who are living with Parkinson's, MS, epilepsy, stroke, brain injury and many other…

I thank the Minister for his answers so far. I also welcome the pay awards for our healthcare workers as well as for the PSNI. Will the Minister outline and expand on the capital funding being provided to Health, given that some of our health facilities are not fit for purpose and are actually in an unsafe condition?
Assessment details for Debate contribution: December Monitoring Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: December Monitoring
I thank the Member for taking an intervention. Does he agree that, after the fact, the harm has already been done? Speaking as somebody who lost someone in a horrific road traffic accident, I can tell you that I am glad that we did not have to see that scene. I can also tell you that we will always remember how we…
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Traffic Collision Sites: Privacy and Dignity Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Traffic Collision Sites: Privacy and Dignity
It is to protect minority rights. There was consensus from the people of the North that they did not want to be removed from the European Union; I just make that clear. Do you now accept that Brexit, with everything that has resulted from it, has been an economic and political disaster that is supported by a shrinking…

Assessment details for Debate contribution: EU Observer Status Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: EU Observer Status
Mrs Dillon asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, given that observer status in the EU would help to strengthen relations with Europe and enable concerns with post-Brexit trading realities to be raised with MEPs and the Commission, whether they accept that it is entirely inappropriate to use the petition…

I thank the Member for taking an intervention. I will keep it brief. I agree with the Minister. When you visit the Children's Hospice, you see joy. It is not what you expect to see, but that is what it looks like when you get the very best. That is what we want for everybody.
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Inquiry into Access to Palliative Care Services Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Inquiry into Access to Palliative Care Services
I welcome the publication of the report. I commend all those who contributed to the inquiry — patients and their families, and staff in the statutory and voluntary sectors — and all those who took time to tell their stories. The evidence given to the Committee was powerful and often very emotional, particularly for…

I thank the Member for the answer. Can he give us a timeline for when the automatic barrier might be put in place? This is an issue of staff welfare, and everybody should be able to come to a decent place of work. We all get to a come into a nice, warm building that might not be perfect, but it is certainly much…

Assessment details for Debate contribution: Agricultural Relief Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Agricultural Relief
I thank the Minister for his answer. To be fair, I have no doubt about the work that you, Minister, are doing in relation to this. However, farmers are really concerned. I met the Ulster Farmers' Union last week, and I know that there were meetings last week at which farmers raised their concerns about the issue. They…

It has been said a number of times that we do not understand how the PSNI operates. A number of Members declared an interest as Policing Board members, so I think that we do have a fair understanding. I have been on it for eight years — I am happy to understand it less, any time Michelle O'Neill feels like it — but it…

I thank the Minister for taking the intervention. Earlier today, I was on a panel with one of your party colleagues, and, when we were discussing PSNI resources, I was the only person on that panel who said that I agreed that the Health Department and Education Department should get the budget that they get. We do not…

Assessment details for Debate contribution: PSNI: Pressure due to Health System Failings Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: PSNI: Pressure due to Health System Failings
I appreciate the Member's taking an intervention. The previous Member said that Right Care, Right Person would be a good thing as soon as it was safe to do it. Do you agree that how we currently operate is unsafe and people are dying because of what happens at the moment?
Assessment details for Debate contribution: PSNI: Pressure due to Health System Failings Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: PSNI: Pressure due to Health System Failings
I thank the proposer of the motion. We will support the motion and the amendment. I begin by recognising the reality that faces the PSNI and, more importantly, the people who find themselves in deep distress or in crisis. Every day, police officers respond to more than 100 concern for safety calls, but only a tiny…

Minister, given the growing diverse and rich community that we are all part of and all live in, can you outline how the Executive Office racial equality strategy can help to confront racism in our society and stamp it out once and for all?
