To ask the Minister of Education to outline the level of cooperation that exists between his Department and the Department of Health in relation to special educational needs provision.
Does the Member agree that, if you can acknowledge one Member's heartfelt contribution as a woman with experience, the honourable and decent thing would be to acknowledge both women who spoke from the same perspective, rather than accusing them of the usual equality stance?
Does the Member agree that the reason for introducing the Bill was to try to make up for the trauma that has been caused to so many mummies who, like her, have lost their babies and to allow them the recognition that the baby existed? By making it more convoluted, all we are doing is adding to the trauma that, in some…
Minister, your last line is really the nub of it. It is about trying to understand and whether the family will be told exactly how one administrative error led to 13 pre-release incidents. I remember the statement from the family at the time that Thomas McEntee was also a victim because of a failure in mental health…
I rise to mark Occupational Therapy Week 2025, which provides us with the opportunity to celebrate the vital and far-reaching contribution of occupational therapists across our health and social care system. Whether it is helping someone to regain mobility after injury, supporting a child with developmental challenges…
Exclusion of Minister from Office under Section 30 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 That this Assembly, under section 30(1)(b) of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, resolves that, further to his recent visit to Israel, the Minister of Education no longer enjoys the confidence of the Assembly, because of his failure to…
I thank the proposer of the motion and the proposer of the amendment for bringing the issue to the Floor today. I wish that we were not, but it is devastating to be standing here once again talking about another failure in women's health. Time and again, we are in the Chamber dealing with crises that have impacted on…
I thank the Minister for his answer so far. Minister, as you are well aware, Mid Ulster is a vast, rural constituency, and it is therefore vital that all our residents can access the care that they need. I am dealing with a number of patients who have to go to Altnagelvin for radiotherapy treatment every day for six…
Occupational Therapy Week 2025 That this Assembly marks Occupational Therapy Week 2025, taking place from 3rd November, and celebrates the vital and far-reaching contribution of occupational therapists across the health and social care system; acknowledges the critical role occupational therapists play in improving…
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to outline how the Forest Service is working and engaging with local communities to support community-led initiatives and development within forested areas.
To ask the Minister of Health,in relation to the ten independent children’s residential facilities currently operating, to detail (i) the number that are (a) run by charities or not-for-profit organisations; and (b) operated on a private or for-profit basis; (ii) how many of the children currently placed in privately…
I thank the Member for taking an intervention. I absolutely agree that everybody should pay their rates, but does the Member agree that some of those who have been unable to pay their rates are hard-working, decent people who have just been unable to pay their rates?
Has the Minister engaged with the migrant and refugee community or the organisations that represent its members, in order to understand their perspective? If we take at face value his saying that the issue is landlords, he should engage with the community that is affected. I know that Kate Nicholl has held a number of…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail whether (i) any assessment been made of the impact of the temporary pause on the recruitment of agency social work and social care staff, particularly in relation to staffing pressures, service delivery, and the continuity of support for vulnerable individuals and families (ii)…
I thank the Member for taking an intervention. Does the Member agree that, given the fact that NIE made £181 million in profits in 2024, it could well afford to have a better system in place to provide generators to those on the critical care list, particularly those at the end-of-life stage, who potentially have to…
Does the Member agree that, if we do not do something about climate change, we will continue to have worsening storms? We are having such weather events because we did not address climate change.
