Debate contribution: Paediatric Pathology Services
Members have touched on all the key points and the motivation for bringing the motion to the House. Diane Dodds made a point that I want to repeat. When we talk about all-island cooperation and collaboration, at times, people make assessments and judgements that the discussions are political, but that is not what this…

Member's statement: Lives Lost to Suicide

The latest NISRA figures on suicide are deeply troubling. They show that 290 deaths by suicide were registered in 2024. That figure is up from 221 in the previous…

As Sinn Féin spokesperson on mental health and as chairperson of the all-party group on suicide prevention, I start by saying plainly that it is not sustainable or acceptable that the police have become the default response to mental health crises in our society. That is not to pin blame specifically on the Minister…
