Mr Paul Frew: Assembly records
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.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any regulatory mechanisms that compel a Health and Social Care Trust to take immediate action when an official audit mis-records an individual's birth date and legal age.
To ask the Minister of Health whether any assessment has been made of where patients impacted by the loss of emergency surgery and elective bowel surgery from Causeway Hospital would receive their care.
To ask the Minister of Health whether any assessment has been made of the number of inpatient beds that would be lost in the event of emergency surgery and elective bowel surgery being removed from Causeway Hospital.
To ask the Minister of Health whether there are currently any discussions or plans to remove emergency surgery and elective bowel surgery from Causeway Hospital.
The Minister makes a valid point, and we have ironed it out in the debate. The offence should therefore really be about posting the footage on an open forum rather than recording the incident.
I thank the Minister for giving way. She has hit on something really intriguing. She gave the example of somebody who was of good character all their life and cracked. That person will also have been found guilty at that point at which a character reference is submitted. On the basis of what she has just said, would…
Will the Minister explain a wee bit more about how that would come about, who would call for that and how the judge would be made aware of that evidence?
I thank the Minister for that intervention, because it is very useful. What we do not want, and what we have to try to stop, is people's information about their private life being used to discredit them in some way and to humiliate them in other ways, thereby causing further trauma. That is what we are trying to…
I thank the Minister for that intervention. Nevertheless, there are concerns that I want to address. The Minister and the departmental officials will know that, even from the range of questions that I have asked. We need to make sure that we get the balance correct. Nobody has been convicted or found guilty of an…
I thank the Minister for her intervention. She was absolutely right to take that action, as it means that victims' voices are right at the heart of the matters under discussion. It is now obvious to us that that should have been done years ago, but it is good that it is being done now. We should all be proud of the…
I thank the Minister for her answer. The position has turned out to be more positive than it was when I submitted the question. I know that this will not necessarily be your direct responsibility, Minister, but will any special measures be adopted to deal with the backlog of cases so that we can put victims right at…
I thank the Minister for her answer. I asked the question because I fear that the backlog of work that has to be done on the A5, the Enniskillen bypass and everything that has been held up because of net zero policies will impact on all constituencies; I simply asked about North Antrim. Given that the Minister might…
I thank the Health Minister for that answer. Can he tell us the scale of the issue? I am led to believe that it affected just under 50,000 letters. Can the Health Minister confirm that number?
Mr Frew asked the Minister for Infrastructure, given the problems that she has with the nonsense net zero policy stalling major infrastructure works, to outline how that has affected North Antrim.
To ask the Minister of Health whether his Department has had any discussions with counterparts in Great Britain to consider the inclusion of metachromatic leukodystrophy in the UK newborn screening programme.
The Member has put his point on the record with that intervention. I cannot possibly speak on the Minister's behalf. If she wants to address that point, I will give way. If not, I will move on. The Minister said that she had asked for the number of trans people in our prisons currently and in the past, but it could…
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I will start off in that trend and mode of thought by thanking again the Committee Clerk and staff for their diligence and work in supporting the Committee members over the past year and a half. I also thank the Assembly's Bill Office for all its work over that period. I do believe that…
I thank the Minister for that answer and acknowledge the success of the baby loss certificate scheme so far. The numbers show that the scheme was warranted and needed in the first place. That is welcome news. Has the Minister put in place some sort of review of the certificate scheme and applications to it so that we…
Mr Frew asked the Minister of Finance, after acknowledging that the baby loss certificates launched yesterday are very welcome and something that the DUP has pushed for for many months and years, and after congratulating the Minister on his work in that regard, to give a guarantee that he will investigate an issue…
I will address the Minister's points, and I will then give way to my colleague Brian. The Minister read out paragraph 181 of Judge Lady Ross's ruling, which I was going to read out. I will not read it out again. I was going to read the complete paragraph, which she has done. I was going to be fulsome in that regard.…
