All of Mr Paul Frew’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I thank the Member for giving way. He raises a valid point. This is not a reason for not doing it by the way, but there could be a danger that a raft of police officers who are guilty of misconduct will retire on the eve of the Bill receiving Royal Assent and not be touched. Then, you would have a raft of police…
I thank the Member for giving way. That will be critical. You would not want to test somebody on a standard that they were not aware of at the time of the activity. If that could be enshrined in regulations, that would be really important. A fairness needs to be added to that process.
The Member makes a really valid point. She comes from a very learned position, because she is on the Policing Board and spent time before that dealing with similar issues on the Justice Committee. I get that position, and I hear the Member loud and clear about how moving those things on is as much for the police…
I thank the Minister for that intervention. It is right that we try to close the loophole that allows people to retire with the intention to evade scrutiny and investigation for misconduct. The trick here is how we do that effectively without unintended consequences. I suppose that we are yet to be convinced about…
I thank the Member for her comments. I commend her for the work that she does on the Policing Board and in other areas and for the work that she has done of late to expose some of the issues that we are debating. She will, no doubt, include a lot of that in her contribution today, and I look forward to hearing it. I…
The Member makes a valid point, but we have to make sure — this is why we are here — that the measures that we introduce for disciplinary processes and punishment represent an appropriate, proper and proportionate stance for the House to take. I have no doubt that that will play out in the next couple of hours of…
I will make my point first. When they come across such an incident, we need to make sure that those officers are supported. There have been some great dramas and documentaries on TV over the last number of weeks and months that have highlighted the work of the police to the public, and that should be encouraged.…
I thank the Member for his intervention. He is absolutely right about what police officers have to go through daily; for example, the horrific attack that police officers encountered in north Belfast last night. Therefore, we need to ensure that there is support for the police officers and the blue-light services,…
I thank the Minister for her intervention and her commitment to work with the DUP and the other parties to make sure that it is proper, robust and good legislation. The matter is of the utmost importance, and, in a perfect world, we would probably have had a Bill only on this. The Minister will know my style with…
I thank the Minister for that intervention and for her words. I echo the point about ensuring that we retain and maintain that professionalism as the Police Service serves all the people of Northern Ireland, keeping them safe, investigating crime and bringing people to justice. We are debating really important stuff…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the number of staff who have accessed patients' records illegally, since the roll-out of encompass, broken down by Health and Social Care Trust.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the number of times each Health and Social Care Trust informed patients that their personal records have been accessed inappropriately or illegally, since the roll-out of encompass.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the number of breaches of GDPR that have occurred (i) during Encompass training; and (ii) during the systems going live period.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the number of times each Health and Social Care Trust contacted the PSNI to investigate Illegal breaches of accessing encompass.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) any steps taken to ensure that encompass system patient files are not unlawfully accessed; and (ii) how is this monitored.
I thank the Member for giving way. I am really enjoying his speech, but, on a technicality, I will do that activity not as Chair of the Justice Committee but as DUP spokesperson. Although I happen to be the Chair, all the work that I will do over the summer with the Minister and the Department will be done as a DUP…
You have. I thank the Member for that. There are people who do this through choice who have a small, select group of clients, and then there are people who, if they were to advertise digitally, would go worldwide. It is putting women, even those who do it by choice, in immense danger, because they do not know who will…
