I can tell the Member, hand on heart, that I have had no discussions with people involved in the roll-out of MDTs who question their worth; quite the opposite.

I can give that confirmation to the Member. I am aware that some have said, "Take the £61 million for MDTs and use it for another purpose", but that is not possible for this reason: that £61 million is not Department of Health budget; indeed, it is not even Northern Ireland Executive budget. It is Northern Ireland…

We are continuously talking about the challenge of vacancies not just in social work but across the full Health and Social Care (HSC) workforce. It is always a priority. I constantly meet those in the Department who are engaged in workforce planning. We are very aware of the vacancies and of the impact that they have…

That is a very interesting question. The focus at the moment is on making sure that there are MDTs across Northern Ireland. We have not got across all the federations — as I said, it will take seven or eight years to complete that journey — but I am already thinking about whether we are right to have MDTs that are…

I can certainly talk about prioritising the roll-out to where they are needed most. As the Member knows, recruitment and retention is a difficulty across the piece, particularly in rural areas. We have to be imaginative in how we make the packages attractive to people to come and work in rural areas. It is not just…

With your permission, Mr Speaker, I will answer questions 3 and 14 together. The multidisciplinary team model remains central to stabilising primary care services to ensure that they can continue to deliver high-quality care to our communities now and in the future. In line with the Department's commitment to the…

Yes. I have asked Professor Sir Frank Atherton to look at all the work that has been done to date and beyond the actual reports. I give the Member this assurance: he will report his findings directly to me. There will be no influence from officials in the Southern Trust, the Public Health Agency or the Department of…

I have not committed to a public inquiry, but I have not ruled one out. I have consistently said that I want to establish what happened, why it happened, including who was responsible for its happening, and what we do either to prevent it from happening again or to make sure that we have done everything in our power…

On the first question, I understand that there was a migration from one IT system to a second. That should have gone smoothly. There should not have been any issues, but it appears to me that issues arose. I want to understand fully what those issues were and why they were not spotted when the changeover from an old…

I thank the Member for his question. I am not sure that I quite understood the question, but equality of access and service is 100% what I want. I have said many times that I want standardised, regionalised services. On patients who have missed out, I am aware of an issue with patient samples from a number of GP…

Where a woman is diagnosed with cervical cancer, the diagnosing trust leads a review of all elements of the woman's screening history for the 10 years prior to diagnosis. That is done if such a history exists; not all women will have one. The audit will involve a review of every element of the screening pathway,…

I am certainly not aware of any partnership or organisation that is not up for looking at it. Since I took up post, right from the get-go, everybody whom I have spoken to who is involved in delivering health and social care in any way, including those in the voluntary and community sector, has been up for a reset, for…

I am unaware of those details, but, obviously, I will check that as soon as I am able to leave the Chamber.

The core funding budget is not satisfactory for anybody, including me and the Department. When you break it down into GPs, community pharmacies or the hospital trusts, which are having to save hundreds of millions of pounds in this financial year, as they did last year, that is at the core of the problem. I have a…

I thank the Member for her observation. Of course, I want patients and communities to be involved in the model. Without their buy-in, it will be very difficult to achieve. For me, the starting point has to be talking to the experts who know how to deliver a neighbourhood scheme. I will take you back to what Professor…

I made a commitment in the reset plan to developing a neighbourhood model to deliver greater levels of care to our citizens in their local communities. The model will see community pharmacies, GPs and their federations, voluntary and community organisations, trusts and independent providers working closely together in…

On behalf of the Ulster Unionist Party, I offer condolences to the friends and families of Joe Byrne and Mary Bradley and to the Members and supporters of the SDLP — but also, actually, to anybody who supports democracy, because here were two great democrats who gave their lifetimes to public service, as we all aspire…

Principal Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for your indulgence: I begin by adding to the good wishes to Mr William Irwin as he steps away from the Chamber. From listening to the contributions, there can be no doubt how serious neurology and the issues surrounding it are. As Members are aware, my Department…

Thank you very much, Deputy Speaker. I will begin, as I must, by congratulating the Committee on its very detailed piece of work. I also congratulate it on the speed at which it got a debate in the Chamber. The debate was opened, I think, before the report was officially launched: that could be a first. Genuinely, I…

I thank the Member for her intervention. Deputy Speaker, I do not wish to admonish the audiovisual team, but every time that the Member stands up, the microphone to her left comes on, but she faces right. I am sorry, but I find it very hard to hear. Maybe next time, the audiovisual team will switch on the microphone…

Thank you, Deputy Speaker. There is only one place where I feel comfortable beginning, which is by acknowledging as critical — I repeat: "critical" — the issue of the right person with the right skills responding to somebody in mental health crisis. When I say "critical", I mean "potentially life-saving". I hope that…

As a general rule, I ask officials to shorten every pathway to diagnosis and treatment. I pay tribute to Mr McCormick, who is on my social media daily. He is welcome to use my social media to raise awareness. I am very sorry that he lost his wife. It is a common theme that, once they get into the health and social…
