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.
For clarity, I was not saying that we should be bringing this issue to the Minister of Health; I simply meant to say that we need somebody to take the lead. I agree that all Departments should work together.
I thank the Member who tabled the motion. We can all agree that the mental health of our children and young people is an issue that many of us — all of us, I am fairly certain — are deeply concerned about. The mental health challenges faced by children in the North are not isolated in one Department, and that is…
I thank the Minister for giving way. I understand the financial position that he is in. Minister, do you accept that some of the preventative work would be much more cost-effective and would, hopefully, result in people not ending up in hospital or needing greater psychiatric input, which would provide a saving to us?…
Go raibh maith agat. Will you outline any work that your Department is undertaking on speed-management policies and measures, particularly in built-up areas?
Mrs Dillon asked the Minister for Infrastructure whether he can confirm that a recommendation from the PSNI is required for requests to reduce a speed limit from 40 mph to 30 mph.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the plans in place to improve the provision of diagnostic services for adolescent patients aged 12 to 17 years old with (i) attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; and (ii) attention deficit disorder.
To ask the Minister of Health for his assessment of the provision of diagnostic services for adolescent patients aged 12 to 17 years old with (i) attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; and (ii) attention deficit disorder.
To ask the Minister for Communities whether he has plans to update the criteria for awarding intimidation points, through the Housing Executive, to victims of domestic abuse and violence.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline the next steps in the process of establishing a statutory Inquiry and a financial Redress Scheme for those affected by Mother and Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses.
I thank the Members who have spoken already, because some of them have covered my points. However, it is worthwhile talking specifically to the lack of mobile coverage in some areas of Mid Ulster, the rural community that I represent. Mobile service is vital for everyday use and for people to make phone calls. If you…
Minister, given the large number of small and microbusinesses in the North, which you outlined, and, without being parochial, given the entrepreneurial spirit in areas such as mine — mid-Ulster — will you outline the role that such organisations can play in addressing regional inequalities?
I thank the Member for taking an intervention. Does she agree that, if the money in Health were invested properly, we would not have the pressures that there are on some other Departments? For example, we know that many people in mental health crisis end up in a police station or even in prison because their mental…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “High-quality Mobile Coverage in Rural Areas”
High-quality Mobile Coverage in Rural Areas - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘consequence;’ and insert: ‘acknowledges the work of the Department for the Economy in leading the Barrier Busting Taskforce and its planning subgroup, including the involvement of the Department for Infrastructure, local councils, and…
As the Member is aware, we are also going to Dublin to meet the Oireachtas Committee there, and it is definitely worthwhile for us to raise this when we are down there. As I said, it is important, particularly in the border areas, where we really could have better access. In the likes of Fermanagh, there could be a…
I apologise to the Minister for not being in the Chamber for the start of his answers to this question. Based on what he has said around the transition process, there is a real problem there. That is maybe where the Education Department could do more work — do better work — on giving the information and ensuring that…
I support the motion and the amendment on the deepening crisis in our health service. It is not just about numbers; it is about real lives, real communities and the future of healthcare across the North. The cracks in our system are most visible in social care, which forms the foundation of our healthcare services.…
Go raibh maith agat, a Chéad-Aire. I thank the Minister for bringing the strategy to the House today. It is long-awaited but very welcome, and I am glad to hear about all the work that has been done and has been put in by all of those most impacted. Minister, we know that there needs to be a justice response and that…
To ask the Minister of Health (i) for his assessment of the decline in the achievement of the 62-day and 14-day waiting time targets for breast cancer, with both targets decreasing from Q1 2023 to Q1 2024; (ii) to detail the factors that have contributed to this decline; (iii) how his Department plans to address these…
As the deputy First Minister said, the cases are complex and historical. I have two questions. First, can we get information in writing about what exactly has been done to speed up the process? Secondly, given that they are historical cases and that many of the people affected are nearing the end of their life, can we…
To ask the Minister of Finance to outline how many businesses have benefited from the Back in Business rates support scheme within the last financial year.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) any issues his Department had in utilising early years data to forecast the number of children with special educational needs (SEN) to inform allied health professionals and nursing resourcing decisions; (ii) how his Department collaborate with the Department of Education to…
Opposition to Racism That this Assembly condemns the criminal damage and targeting of businesses in recent days; rejects all forms of Islamophobia, xenophobia and racism; endorses the work of voluntary sector organisations combatting racism and supporting those impacted by it; recognises the work of the Police Service…
