  1. Debate contribution: Ketamine: Reclassification

    • Private Members' Business

Access to the drug, along with others such as pregabalin, is often just a click or a direct message (DM) away. Both are frequently and…

  2. Debate contribution: Ratepayers: Debt Reduction Payment Plan

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I go back to the original question on rates debt. That is on top of £65 million of rates arrears that have been written off in the past year.

  6. Debate contribution: Communities

    • Question for Urgent Oral Answer

    I thank the Minister for coming to the Chamber and stepping in for his colleague. Minister Givan has been quick to point the finger of blame squarely at Sinn Féin for its collapse of the Assembly and this delay. Does he accept the role that his party's subsequent two-year collapse of the institutions has played in the…

  7. Debate contribution: Autism Strategy 2023-28: Lessons Learned

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, you mentioned the autism reviewer. Her appointment is also progress, and she seems to have hit the ground running. Will you give us some detail on the support, resourcing and engagement provided to the reviewer by the Department of Health, and state whether it is adequate?
