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.
To ask the Minister of Health whether he will introduce regional reporting requirements requiring all Health and Social Care Trusts to record and publish comparable information on unauthorised access to encompass records, investigations undertaken and disciplinary outcomes.
As Minister for fairness, equality and non-discrimination and being good to everybody and treating them in the same way, will you support my colleague Colm Gildernew's Housing (Amendment) Bill on the basis that it discriminates against no one and would give everyone equal access to protection and support when they are…
I raise the growing pressure facing the social care workforce delivering care in our communities. Every day, those workers provide an invaluable service, looking after our older people and those with complex disabilities and providing vital support to their families. Their work allows thousands of people to remain…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) any steps being taken to ensure that all eligible patients can access mirvetuximab soravtansine; and (ii) whether the necessary diagnostic and treatment infrastructure is in place across Health and Social Care Trusts to support its delivery.
I thank the Member for taking an intervention. Does that not speak to exactly why the Minister should be here today — to be part of the conversation, to listen, to engage and to have a two-way conversation with all the parties, particularly the one whose Member introduced the Bill? That is one reason why he absolutely…

To ask the Minister of Health (i) for an update on the introduction of the Real Living Wage for the social care workforce; and (ii) to detail any measures he is considering to address increased fuel and travel costs incurred by social care staff delivering services, particularly in rural areas.
I concur with Mark Durkan's comments about our thoughts being with the victims in this case, because it is they who will be most traumatised. Minister, you are right not to criticise the court's decision, because we have to keep the two things separate, and we should never interfere. However, could you have a…
As a representative for Mid Ulster, I know that the Mid South West growth deal is vital. Can the Minister give us some sense of the benefits from the Mid South West growth deal and of when we might see them?
I did not intend to speak in the debate, because I felt that it was well and truly sufficient for John to speak on the issue as the representative for that area. However, I feel that some of the commentary has been totally unacceptable. There is no call for that today. This is a day for the Hamill family; let them…
