Mr Philip McGuigan: Assembly records
All of Mr Philip McGuigan’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 Minister for providing a useful update on lecturers' pay. Further to that, what is the position with regard to a pay offer for non-teaching staff in colleges?
The Department for Communities recently published the gambling prevalence survey for the North. The survey shows that 3% of our population are experiencing severe gambling-related harms, a further 10% are considered low- or moderate-risk gamblers, and approximately one in seven adults who participated in gambling here…
I thank the proposer of the motion for bringing the issue to the Chamber today. The most recent statistics for waiting times for cancer patients do not make good reading: they highlight a situation for cancer patients that simply is not good enough. As we have heard, only 87·5% of cancer patients started treatment…
I want to promote a single topic but two events that are coming soon in my constituency of North Antrim. First, I congratulate Ballycastle Comhaltas for organising and bringing the Antrim fleadh to Ballycastle. That will run for a week, from next Monday, 19 May, until the following Sunday, 25 May. I have no doubt that…
To ask the Minister of Health for an assessment of the proportion of his budget allocated towards (i) prevention measures; (ii) early detection; and (iii) addressing health inequalities.
To ask the Minister of Health for an update on the Cancer Strategy 2022-2032, including (i) progress made to date; (ii) priorities for the next two years; and (iii) funding allocated for implementation.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail (i) the preparatory work in advance of; and (ii) the next steps following the completion of, the Research for Better Health and Social Care Strategy (2016-25).
I agree about the equity issue and urge the Minister to look at that. He said that he has set aside £10 million for those who have been on the waiting list for two years. Will he ensure that that £10 million is spent fully, even if it means reducing the two-year target that he set?
I welcome the statement, Minister, and I welcome your and the Executive's commitment to reducing the number of patients on our unacceptably high waiting lists. You highlighted the waiting list reduction reimbursement scheme, which will allow patients from the North to seek treatment in the South and, eventually,…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the current level of care available for those living with Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections.
To ask the Minister of Health how his Department plans to address any barriers in accessing NHS treatments for those living with Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections.
I will begin by declaring an interest as my wife has been a type 1 diabetic for 37 years and my son is a type 1 diabetic of nine years. Whilst I do not have first-hand experience, I have been party to thousands of hours of conversations on blood sugar levels, the sugar content of various foods and the number of units…
I welcome the Minister's statement and all the positive aspects contained in it. It is particularly encouraging, Minister, that you intend to introduce paid carer's leave. Do you have any estimate of how much that is likely to cost?
I thank the Minister for bringing forward those positive initiatives. As a motorist and a cyclist, I can verify just how scary our roads can be. Will the Minister ensure that adequate funding is secured in her budget to bring forward those measures?
I thank the Minister for her answer. More importantly, the residents of Glenshesk Road, who have been severely impacted on as a result of the landslide since March 2024, will welcome the completion of the work in August. Given that that was not the first landslide on the Glenshesk Road, will the works that you have…
To ask the Minister of Health for his assessment of the two Rapid Diagnostic Centres, including details of any plans to expand (i) the number of centres; and (ii) the range of diagnostic tests provided for within the centres.
