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 thank the Member for taking an intervention. Does the Member agree that that is the very point of the process? Whilst I accept that it is an Executive Bill, the Member has been very clear that she wants to work with the Minister and try to address the issues that have been raised. The very point of bringing…
Minister, I support what you have just said, particularly about the Fire Service. We had the Fire Service in front of the Committee a number of weeks ago, when it outlined the stress and pressure that it is under and the fact that its officers put themselves at risk every time that they are called out. It is important…
Does the Minister agree that the 'good jobs' Bill would help to protect the retail workers whom he referenced by unionising businesses and ensuring that workers get their rights, regardless of the changes that may happen?
To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) any measures in place to protect staff from recent reported racist abuse; and (ii) whether additional (a) security; and (b) wellbeing and counselling supports, will be provided where necessary.
I am going to shock the House by agreeing with much of what Jon has said, which is a bit scary. This is really important. I am glad that the amendments have been tabled, because they are important for the PSNI and for us as elected representatives, but, mostly, they are important for the community to have confidence…
I appreciate the Member's taking an intervention. The Minister has made it clear that the ombudsman will not take a decision on whether a misconduct hearing will happen: that will still be for the Chief Constable. The ombudsman can certainly make a recommendation, but, as is the case currently, the Chief Constable…
Last week, the Policing Board met the public protection branch. It raised some really significant challenges that it faces. We know the attrition rates in some of the cases of violence against women and girls and children. That needs to be seriously addressed. Minister, will you agree to meet some members of the…
Given what the Justice Minister has just said, does the Member agree that not many officers remain in PSNI who were in the RUC at the time that has been referred to? If there are any, we are talking about a very small number.
I appreciate the time that the Member has given to interventions on the matter, but it is important, particularly given that Nuala and I are on the Policing Board and we deal with it daily. Cheryl and Keith are in the same position. It is important to understand that the PSNI wants it. In fairness to the Chief…
Can the Member outline in what other sphere anybody in the public sector has the privileges and rights that he talks about? I see those only in the PSNI. That is not to say that they need to be removed, but I do not think that anybody else in the public sector has the rights and privileges that PSNI officers have. We…
To ask the Minister of Health whether any work has been undertaken by his Department to develop a new maternity strategy following the conclusion of the Strategy for Maternity Care 2012–2018.
Last week, the British Prime Minister apologised to the families of the five people who were shot dead by the British Army in Springhill in 1972. For 54 years, those families have been fighting for truth, justice and acknowledgement. Do you, as deputy First Minister, associate yourself with that apology and agree with…
I call on the Health Minister to ensure that families with children with severe, complex, life-limiting conditions do not have to lose out on spending precious time with their beautiful children because they are fighting for services to which they should have had access. I thank the Children's Hospice for its amazing…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the cost of providing an overnight short-break placement for a child with a disability, in each statutory children's short-break service, broken down by Health and Social Care Trust.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the number of emergency foster placements that resulted in an unplanned school transfer, in each of the last five years.
To ask the Minister of Health whether foster placements are being arranged on an emergency or last-minute basis where school staff are subsequently asked to accommodate a child at short notice.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) an updated implementation timetable for all accepted January 2022 Independent Review of Children’s Social Care Services recommendations; (ii) any recommendations that remain outstanding; (iii) any recommendations that have experienced delays, including the reasons for those…
To ask the Minister of Health whether his Department has undertaken any analysis of the factors contributing to clinical negligence claims against Health and Social Care Trusts, including any assessment of the role of staffing shortages, workforce pressures, vacancy levels, workload pressures, or delayed access to…
To ask the Minister of Health, given the recent decision by NHS England and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to make mirvetuximab soravtansine available for patients with folate receptor-alpha-positive platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancers, to detail…
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any consideration he has given to awarding additional housing allocation points to young people leaving care, to support their transition to independent living.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any consideration he has given to awarding housing allocation points to foster families, whose housing circumstances impact their ability to provide foster placements.
