To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for an update on the consultation on reducing the compensation rate under the bovine Tuberculosis programme.
I thank the Minister for his answer to my question. It is an all-Executive priority, as we know, but can the Minister give an update on the work on childcare specifically with the Department for the Economy and the Department of Health? Families and providers are crying out for help. We want to ensure that the work is…
I declare an interest: I have been on the board of governors of Rathore School in Newry for almost nine years. Given that, I am acutely aware of the huge issues that special schools and families are facing, and I thank the Minister for this very welcome statement. Minister, one of the issues that comes up time and…
I thank the First Minister for her update. Does she agree that the NSMC provides an important forum for developing shared approaches to the delivery of essential public services, most obviously all-island health interventions but also in other areas, such as agriculture, infrastructure, climate and tourism?
I thank the First Minister for her answer. I know that safeguarding and protecting the rights of victims and delivering services is a key priority for her. In the absence of a commissioner, can the Minister update us on the work of the Victims' Commission?
I thank my colleague Órlaithí Flynn for bringing this important motion to the Floor of the House. I know, as others have said, how committed Órlaithí has been in this area: the support that she has provided for families has been steadfast, and that was reflected in her remarks. I thank the Minister for his remarks. It…
I thank the Minister for giving way. I just want some clarity. He said, when talking about Colin McGrath's amendments, that the 12-month date is not without risk. Can you provide some clarity on that? Given the work that I would expect to have been done in the two years since the original legislation was passed and…
I will not rehash the comments that I made last week. It is very clear that this is a Sinn Féin Act. We, particularly the primary sponsor, Aisling Reilly, worked extremely hard on this legislation. We consulted with the widest possible range of people on it. I do not accept the comments that others have made that we…
To ask the Minister of Health how many unfunded and unstaffed beds, including beds in non-clinical spaces on wards, Emergency Departments and in corridors, were in use in each Health and Social Care Trust, during March 2024.
I beg to move Baby Robyn Elizabeth Purvis was born sleeping on 21 April 2023 at just under 17 weeks' gestation. That date will be etched in the hearts and minds of her mum and dad and, indeed, her whole family, who still and always will grieve the immense loss of baby Robyn, particularly as they approach her first…
The 'Worried and Waiting' report was published today. Has the Minister had time to consider that report, and does he intend to initiate a child health system review to identify the needs aimed at reducing child health inequalities, as called for in the report?
Safe Use of Non-Surgical Cosmetic Products and Procedures (Revised Wording) That this Assembly recognises the need for greater regulation in the use of aesthetic medicines in non-surgical cosmetic procedures; notes that Save Face, a register of accredited practitioners and clinics, received almost 3,000 complaints in…
Addressing the Lack of Respite Provision for Adults with Learning Difficulties, Complex Needs and Challenging Behaviour That this Assembly recognises the inadequate provision of respite services for adults with learning difficulties, complex needs, and challenging behaviour; acknowledges that respite provision is not…
Addiction and Drug-related Deaths That this Assembly notes with concern NISRA's 2024 report on Drug-Related and Drug Misuse Deaths, which found a significant increase in the number of deaths attributed to drugs and alcohol; further notes the intrinsic connection between social deprivation, poverty, isolation, mental…
I thank the First Minister for her answer. Based on that, can the First Minister give her assessment of the huge potential coming out of today's meeting and what progress we may see in the time ahead?
