Reassessment in progress: every record is being assessed again under the updated rubric. 24,306 of 97,616 records done (24.9%). Rankings are paused until it finishes, so results from the old and new rubrics are never mixed. Progress details
Mrs Linda Dillon: Assembly records
All of Mrs Linda Dillon’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I want to begin by trying to help those on the Benches opposite and the small number of agitators and unelected commentators who, quite frankly, do not appear to represent many people from the unionist and Protestant community to understand why I truly believe that it was the right thing to do to stand with the…
Minister, I understand that you cannot give the pay increase until the ministerial direction has been approved. I fully understand your position on that. However, may I get some clarity on the real living wage? I believe that you are in a position to move forward with that if you are able to find money within your…
It would be helpful if your party leader and colleague would clarify whom he thinks is going to pull down the institutions, because that is calling it out for what it is. It certainly is not those on these Benches.
Minister, do you agree that it is for the Health Minister to ensure that the real living wage is awarded to our social care workers, particularly given that it has now been promised for almost two years, and that he must find that money from within his budget, however he does that, given that he made that commitment…
To ask the Minister of Health, following confirmation that the encompass programme has sought an additional £20 million in funding for the 2026-27 financial year, and that his Department has advised the programme to meet this requirement within existing resources, to detail (i) what the additional funding is required…
Minister, do you agree that the British Government and the Secretary of State have an opportunity to save this place significant amounts of money — up to £1 million a day — by making a call on the Orange march, which is what they should have done a week ago?
Yes, an answer would be great. We certainly do not dance to the beat of anybody's drum. We stand shoulder to shoulder. DUP members' approach to the rule of law is not so clear-cut when they are breaking the law themselves. An opportunity to ask the question would be good. Thank you, Mr Speaker. If you are so committed…
— and rightly so, because they are the residents and the people whom we represent. Just for clarity — Thank you. I also want to say that I am very proud of my colleague Deirdre Hargey, and I will not have her shouted down by the Members behind you.
I am a bit young to be "the past", but thanks very much for the lecture. First of all, for clarity: the residents are absolutely in control of everything that happens on the Garvaghy Road. If you or any of your colleagues bothered to go down on to the Garvaghy Road and speak to the people in that community centre, you…
Mrs Dillon asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, noting that, in confronting injustice, racism and discrimination, civil disobedience is widely recognised the world over as a legitimate and democratic option, whether the deputy First Minister agrees that civil disobedience is a legitimate response to…
To ask the Minister of Health whether his Department will engage with the Food Standards Agency and local councils in relation to the regulation and enforcement of health claims made by supplements marketed to menopausal women.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any steps being taken to ensure women going through the menopause have access to clear, evidence-based advice on vitamins, supplements and nutrition, rather than having to rely on commercial marketing.
To ask the Minister of Health whether any assessment has been made of evidence presented by Which? that supplements marketed specifically at menopausal and perimenopausal women can cost substantially more than standard multivitamins despite containing inadequate doses of key nutrients.
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. What relation does what Mr Gaston has said — any of it, to be perfectly honest, but particularly his most recent comments — have to what we are discussing? At what point will you intervene, Mr Speaker?
To ask the Minister of Health whether any assessment has been made on whether the arrangements for monitoring access to confidential patient information through encompass are sufficiently robust, given that Health and Social Care Trusts have indicated that they do not have dedicated teams proactively monitoring…
To ask the Minister of Health whether there are any differences between Health and Social Care Trusts in how suspected unauthorised access to encompass records is managed, investigated and reported, including whether a standard regional approach will be introduced.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any reasons why some Health and Social Care Trusts were able to provide information on disciplinary action relating to unauthorised access to encompass records while others did not provide equivalent information, including whether this reflects differences in how such incidents…
