Deputy Speaker, thank you very much. A mother-and-baby unit is not overdue or long overdue: it is long, long overdue. Mr Robinson took us back 20 years: I will see his 20 years, and I will up it by 10. On 27 January 1995, my first son was born in the Royal Victoria Hospital. The first clinician to come in and examine…

Each year, 1,000 women develop a severe postnatal illness. It is estimated that around 35 women across the North experience postpartum psychosis: a severe, frightening and potentially life-threatening mental health emergency that devastates those women and their families. With the right treatment and support, women…

I welcome the opportunity to speak on the motion today and thank Órlaithí for her continued work on the issue. I am in firm support of the motion, because it is about justice, health, dignity and the future of mothers and babies across the North.

It is lovely to hear a nod to how motherhood can be joyful and fulfilling. That sometimes gets lost in these discussions. I thank Ms Flynn for recognising it. I speak as a mummy of three, who was one of the one in five, and also as an MLA for North Antrim, where too many mothers face this time with fear rather than…

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank the proposer of the motion. I will speak on the need for a regional mother-and-baby unit. Bringing a child into the world is often described as one of life's most fulfilling, joyful experiences. I can think of the happiness of my wife and I when our little girl was born on New…

I beg to move Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. The motion calls for the urgent establishment of a dedicated mother-and-baby unit (MBU) here in the North of Ireland.

I appreciate the Minister's taking an intervention. You mentioned Baby Loss Awareness Week, which begins on Thursday. Will the legislation provide for backdating to ensure that mothers and families who lost babies in the past are able to get a baby loss certificate? Will that be at least considered as part of the…

I thank the Members who commented on the order, and I welcome their remarks. I also thank the Chairman and the members of the Finance Committee for scrutinising the order. As Members reflected, our objective in bringing forward the order is to continue to provide a registration service that meets the needs of the…

I thank the Minister for bringing the motion to the House. As other Members have said, it is progressive legislation that was brought in during COVID, and its functions will be made permanent because of the moves that the Minister has made. It is just that the moves have taken place during Baby Loss Awareness Week.…

I will make a point that, as the Chair said, has been consistently made by my colleague Paul Frew — we are thankful for his time on the Finance Committee, and he has moved to Chair the Justice Committee — which is that we are disappointed that, some four years on from the pandemic, we still operate under the rules of…

The specific powers included in the…

I thank the Minister for his statement. My thoughts are with the farmers involved. While farmers will be compensated for their birds, there is no compensation for loss of income, which is a big issue for them. Loss of income can be very detrimental to a business. Given that there have been no outbreaks of bird flu in…

Minister, we know that HPAI is caused by an airborne virus. Concerns have been raised with me that it has taken the Department until today to cull the remaining birds on-site. The delay may have allowed the virus to spread, especially during the storm, due to the ventilation in poultry houses. Poultry farmers tell me…

I thank the Minister for his statement. I share Members' concern, and I think of the producer affected. Minister, the vaccination of poultry and most captive birds against avian influenza is not currently permitted. Why does DAERA continue to prohibit avian flu vaccination for poultry in Northern Ireland despite the…

I thank the Minister for his statement. How does DAERA intend to escalate disease control measures, if the outbreak intensifies? Supplementary to that, how will those steps ensure that the wider poultry industry is not affected?

I thank the Minister for his statement. As he will know, I am a representative of Omagh. This is, obviously, concerning for our poultry farmers and farmers across the constituency, so I am glad to see that swift action has been taken.

I thank the Minister for the statement. I am also thinking of those impacted on at the infected site; I put that on the record.
