With regard to bowel cancer screening, we still lag behind the other regions of the UK on the age range for screening. How and when will we see that disparity addressed?

I thank my colleague for the question. The Department is guided, as I have said, by the UK National Screening Committee. It is an independent committee that advises Ministers and health services across the four UK countries on all aspects of screening. Its recommendations are evidence-based about whether to introduce,…

To tie this down and clarify, will the Minister advise who is ultimately responsible for the policy decisions in relation to the screening programme?

I thank the Member for her remarks. The awarding of the contract was the appropriate and best way to go forward. I accept that there have been workforce issues. There has also been an issue with some equipment, but, as I said in my previous answer, any issues with accreditation are more about technical and…

Minister, I noticed that you did not answer the last question. The Belfast Trust has been given the contract for the regional cervical screening programme for Northern Ireland, despite the fact that it is not yet accredited for such screening. Is the Minister satisfied with the decision to award the contract to the…

I join the Member in encouraging women not to be shy and not to be put off going for screening because it is important that they do so. The issues about Belfast's accreditation I will characterise as more technical than real issues with regard to the quality of the screening, and that is being addressed. For the…

Minister, with regard to Mrs Guy's questions about the protocols, are you saying that something has changed and that something new has been implemented to ensure that the PHA has that overarching responsibility to ensure that what happens in the trusts' screening programmes is being done effectively and properly and…

I thank the Member for her interest in the issue, which goes much broader than a protocol. I have no doubt that she was shocked, as was I, at the time that passed before there were the right interventions. The screening programme encompasses a range of services provided by the trusts, GPs and the Business Services…

Minister, thank you for the answer. Was that protocol in place between 2008 and 2021, considering the significant number of women, particularly in the Southern Trust, who were placed at considerable risk in those years? Who is accountable for the lack of adherence to that protocol?

Trusts are responsible for delivering the screening services that they provide. They have a statutory duty of quality. Each trust is responsible for maintaining internal structures to support quality improvement and local coordination of screening services. They are also charged with ensuring that their workforce is…

I was not just defending my Department; I was defending the Civil Service against what I believed to be an unjustified attack. As the Member has stated, I have been around the Executive table in different modes for a number of years, so I am familiar with how the Civil Service works. When individual civil servants…

That must be the earliest ever intervention, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I may now hold the record. I start by paying tribute to the previous Finance Minister, Dr Caoimhe Archibald. We on the Committee for Finance worked well with her. She was always approachable and she was always there to answer questions. We…

Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. The Budget Bill lists the various areas in which the Executive are spending money, but it offers no prioritisation. A Budget Bill is simply a list of areas in which money is legally spent, but there is no opportunity for the public to know how much money is being spent on…

I am happy to return to the Budget Bill, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Of course, I respect any guidance from the Chair. It is important to say that the Bill authorises literally every bit of spending by the Executive. In theory, everything is within the scope of the Budget Bill, because, if there were no Budget…
