First, I acknowledge the sensitivity of the subject. I am aware that a number of parents and children have had very harrowing experiences of either restraint or seclusion in Northern Ireland. Therefore, it is not my intention to be critical of anyone else's view on the issue this evening. Also, given the nature of the…

I thank the Member for his question. Lots of figures have been placed on the record. I am simply stating a fact that all the casualty figures that have come out of that area are based on information from the Hamas-run Ministry of Health. The BBC uses those figures, as does every aid organisation. You can go with those…

There are a lot of aspects of the Sinn Féin motion that I wish I had time to deal with, but I will be able to cover only a few. It quotes figures from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The figures that Sinn Féin uses are taken from the office's briefing paper. First, let me…
I rise to highlight an issue that affects thousands of people across Northern Ireland, often silently and invisibly: coeliac disease. For those of you who are not aware, people with coeliac disease are often described as simply "gluten-intolerant", which means that they cannot eat anything containing a protein found…

I thank the Minister for his answer. Minister, what particular pressures and difficulties does the health service in Northern Ireland face in recruiting consultants across not just haematology but wider specialisms?
I also send my condolences to John. I knew that his father was unwell, but I want him to know that I will be thinking and praying about him in the days ahead.
On 7 October 2023, 1,200 Jewish civilians were murdered by Hamas. Since that day, there has been significant loss of human life in the Middle East. It is important to make it crystal clear that the death of every innocent victim is appalling, and we mourn equally every innocent life lost. Along with every other…
Mr Martin asked the Minister of Health what action he is taking about the fact that over a third of consultant haematology posts in Northern Ireland are currently vacant.
