I thank the Minister for giving way. Like other Members, I welcome the fact that we have reached this point. There seems to be consensus among Committee members and, I am sure, all Members that the introduction of these measures will save lives, which begs the question of whether the 10-year delay in introducing the…
I thank the Minister for giving way. I accept entirely the explanation that she gave, and the roles, remit and responsibility that different Departments, Ministers and agencies have regarding that particular issue. Minister, you said that you can do only what is in the legislative framework. You can change the…
I thank the Minister for his answer. As the Minister outlined, we all want a Budget that provides long-term stability and gives certainty to Departments. We all want a fairer financial settlement from London not just for now but in the future. The SDLP supports the efforts of the Minister and, indeed, the Executive to…

I thank the Member for giving way. Ms Armstrong made a very personal and poignant contribution, in which she highlighted the lack of psychological support available or offered to people who are going through the IVF process. Will the Member concur that that also needs to be addressed?
I beg to move Thanks, Mr Deputy Speaker. For many people, there is no greater privilege or joy in life than becoming a parent, but that is not a gift that is afforded to everyone. For thousands of individuals and couples across Northern Ireland, the dream of starting a family is overshadowed by the heartbreak of…
Yesterday marked Global Motor Neurone Disease Awareness Day, which presents an important opportunity to raise awareness of a condition that is devastating and, as yet, incurable.
