I support the motion. I will focus on the essential need for the hospital and on the transformative impact that it will have on the people of the North. At its core, the hospital represents more than just bricks and mortar: it is a lifeline for families and a place where children can receive the care that they need…

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…
I thank the Minister for his answer. Red-flag referrals are one of the most concerning issues in gynaecology. Will the Minister give an update on any work that has been done on that? We had the cervical smear review in the Southern Trust, and, for many women, that is the most worrying aspect of it. If the Minister…
Daisy Hill is one of the elective overnight stay centres, and it has been doing fantastic work to date. However, there is always room for more. What consideration have the Minister and his Department given to potentially expanding it to include orthopaedic surgeries? That is one of our biggest waiting lists, and many…
Ms Kimmins asked the Minister of Health to outline the work that his Department is doing to address the critical issue of waiting times for obstetrics and gynaecology services, which is probably the only area of healthcare that is specific to women, especially given the report that is in the media today, of which he…
I thank the Minister for his answer. I understand that representatives from EOS IT Solutions were on the Singapore trade mission last week. Will the Minister say more about that company?
I just want to come back on that point. First, as Miss McAllister said, there is no reference to criminal sanctions in the motion.

We have had numerous discussions on the issue in the short time that the Health Committee has been in place. Without speaking for others, I think that we are all very much on the same page on the issue.…
