I concur with the Member: we need to ensure that we do everything efficiently, that we align where we can and that we break down the silo mentality that has always existed. There are some really good examples across all the Departments of how to do that, and, obviously, there are lessons to be learned as well. We have…

The Executive programme on paramilitarism and organised crime (EPPOC) team did a piece of work that showed that the number of strategies relating to paramilitarism, for example, was 89. That did not cover all the Departments, nor is there a centrally held list of strategies. A recent report to the Justice Committee…

It has been depressing to listen to what has been said. We have come to a point at which our public services are under severe strain. We have had 14 years of Tory Government austerity cuts to our finances, and now we have a Labour Government who seem to be continuing that austerity agenda. We have a health service…

At the outset, I acknowledge the good work of the North/South bodies in a number of fields. In my South Down constituency, I have seen at first hand the delivery of important projects and schemes by the SEUPB and InterTradeIreland. Sunday past was Ulster-Scots Day, so it would be remiss of me not to mention the…

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I support the motion's premise but not without serious reservations about those who tabled it. Let us be honest: if you read the motion in isolation, you might reasonably conclude that Sinn Féin is a party of opposition, not the largest party in the Executive and the one that holds the…

Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I thank everybody for their contributions today. It was very striking that the contributions from across the Chamber were very similar, so there seems to be unanimity on the experiences across Northern Ireland. I thank the DUP Members in particular for their amendment, which…

Thank you. I thank all those Members who contributed to the debate. The fact that there is unanimity on the motion and the amendment is a measure of how much we hear from our constituents about issues with dental health and access to NHS dental care. That is very important, and it is a very significant message for the…

Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I also thank the proposer of the motion, the proposer of the amendment and every other Member who has contributed to the debate. I met the British Dental Association in February. I am grateful to it for its briefing on the challenges that it faces. My officials have continued…

I support the motion and the amendment. Every week, I hear from people who cannot get a dentist, whether they are in pain or are trying just to keep up with routine care. They have been left with nowhere to turn, and the situation is getting worse. Across my constituency and, as we have heard, Northern Ireland, people…

I declare an interest: I have a sibling who runs a dental practice in Belfast. NHS dentistry has been under threat almost since its inception, but it is now close to breaking point. People who live here are twice as likely to have filled teeth as people in England, and children here are three times as likely to have…

I thank the Member for giving way. I am curious about the Member's comment about his concern for people not receiving NHS dental care, when his sister party, Reform UK, has been calling for privatisation and insurance-based healthcare, including dental healthcare.
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Dental Care Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Dental Care
The simple act of getting a dental appointment is now out of reach for far too many. According to the British Dental Association, the fees paid by the Department of Health to dentists do not cover the actual cost of delivering care. The harsh reality is that that shortfall has made an NHS dental practice financially…

I support the important motion and want to give a voice in the Chamber, yet again, to the growing frustration and anxiety that is felt by many of my constituents in Fermanagh and South Tyrone, and by people across Northern Ireland, who face increasingly severe difficulties in accessing basic dental care. The previous…

I agree with the points that were made by all Members who have spoken. We are not debating the motion as just a policy concern or a policy issue. We know that the BDA has raised it time and again at the Health Committee — certainly, for the past number of years — and has warned of the sense of collapse across…

I appreciate the Member giving way and thank him for that. Will he accept that it is not just about dental health? When you visit a dentist, other issues, such as oral cancers, can be spotted by a dentist when they are examining a person's mouth?

I support the motion and the amendment, which highlight the growing crisis in our dental service that is affecting people across the North. We have heard it from patients and practitioners and through the Assembly: accessing NHS dental care is becoming a struggle for far too many people in our communities. Let us look…

As an MLA, I am well aware that, in recent years and especially since the pandemic, it has become increasingly difficult for people to access health service dentistry.

I thank the Alliance Members for tabling the motion and the DUP for its amendment, both of which we will support. MLAs know, because our constituents have been telling us, that, in recent years, an increasing number of patients are and have been struggling to access NHS dentistry services, as more and more practices…

I thank the Member for giving way and for raising Fermanagh and South Tyrone. Does he agree that, when dentists switch to private models or close their doors in rural areas, people in those areas will have problems in accessing transport in order to access dental treatment? That is a huge problem in rural areas and…

Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. In keeping with what tends to be the case with health motions, we hope that Members across the Chamber can support our amendment. We believe that including a call to "address regional inequalities" helps to strengthen the original motion. We thank the Alliance Members for…
