Ms Liz Kimmins: Assembly records
All of Ms Liz Kimmins’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I welcome the motion. It is crucial that we keep this important issue front and centre. It has been reiterated numerous times during this mandate that the Assembly remains united in the view that we have been and continue to be underfunded by the British Government relative to the level of need across the North. In…
I thank the Minister for her answer. I note that, in the last week, the Lady Chief Justice has expressed her disappointment that the broadcasting of court proceedings will not be implemented in this mandate. I therefore ask the Minister why that could not be included in the sentencing Bill as it is important,…
Today's plenary meeting is an important opportunity for us all to stand together and condemn the horrendous images and the attacks that we have seen on our migrant communities over the past number of days. We have to show leadership and ensure that they know that we stand with them and will do everything that we can…
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…
I thank the Minister for his statement. There is lots of positive progress, particularly affecting my constituency. One example of that progress is the introduction of the hourly Enterprise service between Belfast and Dublin, an important development for which we have lobbied heavily. Does the Minister agree that it…
To ask the Minister of Health for an update on the implementation of the New Decade, New Approach commitment to provide three cycles of funded IVF treatment.
The fact that we are still talking about non-pay issues as the predominant factor concerns me, because the BMA has said clearly that it needs to see a pay offer. If this does not work, Minister, what are the next steps in the process because we need to find a resolution urgently.
I commend the Finance Minister on her statement and the timely manner in which she published the allocations. It is important that we get allocations to Departments as quickly as possible. Will the Minister outline what funding has been provided to the Department of Health, where it is badly needed?
Minister, thank you for your statement. I am glad to see the progress on the all-island cancer work in particular, off the back of the motion that the Assembly passed two weeks ago. The Oireachtas Committee on Health was up last week, as you know. I took the Committee members to Daisy Hill last week, and they were…
I thank the Minister for his answer. I particularly thank his officials for the work that they have done in helping us with businesses that are in unique circumstances. Is there any unspent money from the funds allocated to flood support? Will that be used for the original purpose of helping businesses that have been…
To ask the Minister of Health, in relation to the relocation of pre-op services at Daisy Hill Hospital, to detail (i) why staff were not transferred to Daisy Hill Hospital to support the service; and (ii) whether the Southern Health and Social Care Trust has commenced recruitment to fill the vacancies for the service…
To ask the Minister of Health, in light of the Working Time (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2023, how his Department is calculating pay and holiday claims for staff who regularly work over their contractual hours.
I thank the Minister for giving way while talking about this important topic. He will know that, a number of weeks ago, Sinn Féin tabled a motion on baby loss certificates, which incorporated a discussion of this issue. I had hoped to be able to raise this point with the DUP Member who spoke on it earlier. For many…
— exponential growth in grassroots football for young people. Will the Minister give a commitment to work closely with Newry, Mourne and Down District Council to upgrade facilities and provide facilities that the teams across my area not only desperately need but, more importantly, deserve?
The recent funding announcement is very welcome in my constituency of Newry and Armagh. The Minister mentioned East Antrim and East Belfast, but we have dire facilities. That is an issue that is raised regularly. We have some of the top teams in the North, such as Cleary Celtic Football Club, which won its third title…
I thank the Member for proposing this important motion. It is no secret that Sinn Féin's vision for the future of healthcare is one that encompasses an all-island health service because it makes sense. Yesterday, all parties supported our motion on all-island cancer research. In discussing that, nobody disputed that…
Proper Funding for Effective Public Services That this Assembly recognises that years of British Government austerity and underfunding of the Executive has seriously undermined our public services in many areas, including health, housing, and education; notes its endorsement of the letter sent to Prime Minister Sunak…
I beg to move Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Over 50,000 people across Ireland are diagnosed with cancer every year, with one in two people likely to have cancer during their lifetime. That is particularly important, given that we have a growing ageing population, with people living longer. Due to…
The Minister will be aware that, last week, Professor Ray Jones briefed the Health Committee on his review. He expressed concern and frustration about the pace of the implementation of the review's recommendations. Will the Minister assure us that he will take the decisions needed to move this on as quickly as…
To ask the Minister of Health for an update on the (i) planning application; (ii) delivery timeline; and (iii) funding secured for the new children’s hospital.
