Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Failure to Deliver Health and Social Care Transformation”
Failure to Deliver Health and Social Care Transformation - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘service collapse;’ and insert: ‘commits to working constructively to agree and deliver a shared programme of health reform over the next five years; and calls on the Minister of Health to work with all political parties to…
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Notwithstanding the fact that we have strong feelings about the rights of the people on the Garvaghy Road, I ask you to rule on whether both main parties are dragging the Assembly into disrepute with this spectacle. It does nobody in Northern Ireland any good — Mr Speaker, may I ask —…
You are right to say, Minister, that the community and voluntary sector is critical to the delivery of services here. That sector has been let down by the local growth fund, but it has also been let down by the failure of the Executive to set a Budget. Will you tell us here and now what services in the community and…
We are at a moment of acute political — possibly even societal — crisis, given what has become a stand-off. My party and I have been clear that the people of Garvaghy Road did not want that deep, dark past — that wound — reopened after decades. It is clear that some people want to use that dispute to provoke division,…
Twenty Years on from the St Andrews Agreement That this Assembly notes that 20 years have passed since the St Andrews Agreement and the restoration of the devolved political institutions after a period of collapse; recognises that this Agreement, while enabling devolved decision-making to return, and securing progress…
Ten Years Since Bengoa That this Assembly notes that ten years have passed since the publication of the Bengoa Report, Systems, Not Structures: Changing Health and Social Care which outlined the case for transformation of health and social care in Northern Ireland, including a greater focus on prevention, primary and…
Racial Equality Legislation That this Assembly marks Black History Month 2026 and celebrates the contribution of black people and communities to Northern Ireland; expresses deep concern at the increase in race hate incidents and crimes, which reached record levels in 2025-2026; believes that everyone should be able to…
Access to Further Education That this Assembly recognises the vital role of further education in delivering the skills our economy needs, improving productivity, supporting regional balance and providing pathways into employment and further learning; expresses concern at cuts to further education and skills provision…
Building Political Consensus That this Assembly recognises that Northern Ireland faces a number of long-standing and increasingly urgent challenges which cannot be left unaddressed; notes that issues including health transformation, wastewater infrastructure and the sustainability of the school estate have remained…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any discussions with the Health Service Executive in relation to access to Omaveloxolone for Friedreich's ataxia patients in Northern Ireland, following the decision to approve Omaveloxolone for reimbursement in RoI.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any reason why only the air quality monitoring stations in Holywood, Lisburn and Belfast City Centre, record levels of PM2.5 in the Belfast area.
To ask the Minister for Communities, pursuant to AQW 51302/22-27 and AQW 52710/22-27, for an update on plans to launch an arts policy before the end of 2026.
I thank the Minister for his answer. He mentioned the one party that has blocked it. That same party's Minister of Education has railroaded lots of policies through the House without Executive approval. Lots of people's kids were off school last Friday because of his TransformED policy. Minister, will you look at what…
I have a listed question, but we are unlikely to get to it. It relates to neighbourhood policing and associated statutory work including by the probation service in inner South Belfast, around Botanic Avenue and the Holylands, where there are vulnerable communities, antisocial behaviour and people with addiction…
It has been a difficult few days, particularly for the people of the Garvaghy Road. My party and my colleagues have engaged with and supported them over the past few days, and we did so without any apology, because those people have been through trauma. Anybody who knows the modern history of this place knows that, in…
