I thank the Minister for his statement. Minister, there is much in the statement that will be beneficial to all genders in our community, but I am a bit concerned that there is no specific mention of women's healthcare. We know that we lag way behind in actioning women's healthcare. I would like a bit more detail on…
Does the Member agree that it is important that we understand the prevalence of abuse in order to deal with it and to have the right services in place at the right time and delivered by the right people?
First, I am proud to be one of those who tabled the motion. I thank the chairperson of the Women's Caucus for proposing it. It is an important motion, and it is well worth discussing here today. I hope that we do not have to appeal to Members in the Chamber to support the motion. Given the conversations and debates…
It was not my intention to get you, to be fair. If you can come back to us with an update, it will be appreciated. Givinostat has not yet been approved for licensing in the UK, but there is an early access programme, and access to it would be gratefully appreciated by the parents here. Children with DMD have an…
First Minister, I welcome your answer in response to the question about the collaboration approach. I do not wish to be parochial, but no council is better at that than Mid Ulster District Council. Does the First Minister agree that addressing regional imbalance is a really important part of moving our economy forward?

I am concerned about ovarian cancer. I am particularly concerned about the misunderstanding of the symptoms of ovarian cancer and the failure, by many, to acknowledge the fact that women's health has been ignored over many years. We do not promote it in the way that it should be promoted, and we urgently need a…
40th Anniversary of Nexus That this Assembly congratulates Nexus on the occasion of its 40th Anniversary; reaffirms its commitment to, and support for, actions to tackle all forms of sexual abuse and abusive relationships; and commends all those working to support people impacted by sexual abuse and abusive…
Minister, will you outline the collaboration that you have been involved in with your counterpart in the Twenty-six Counties, given that there is quite a gap between the rates of bTB there and the rates here? Is there best practice in the South that we can learn from? I am glad to hear you say that you are worried…
Thank you. Are you confident that other Ministers, such as our Education Minister, Health Minister, Communities Minister and AERA Minister, have all bought in to the strategy and are investing where they can to ensure that the scourge of violence against women and girls is not only ended but prevented at the other end?
I wish to speak about the flooding at the weekend. First, my thoughts are with all those whose homes or businesses were flooded, but I particularly reference the flooding in Coalisland and the Clonoe area, particularly the Kings Row area of Coalisland town. Flooding has, unfortunately, been an ongoing issue in Kings…
Mrs Dillon asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on what the Executive Office has done to date in relation to violence against women and girls, given the fact that today begins 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence.

To ask the Minister of Health whether his Department has considered the forfeiture of an individual's Health and Social Care Pension, either partially or entirely, for those who have caused significant costs to the public purse by attempting to obstruct inquests, public inquiries or professional regulatory…
Reducing Stigma in Mental Illness That this Assembly recognises that many people, from a cross-section of society, face mental health challenges; asserts that no person experiencing mental ill-health should feel any shame due to their illness; further recognises the need to fully implement the Mental Health Strategy…
Minister, you will be well aware that many of those who are homeless on leaving prison are homeless because of addiction and mental health issues, so what are you doing to ensure that those prisoners, when they are sentenced and are in prison, get the assistance and intervention that they need around mental health and…
