Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank all the Members who participated in the debate. I thank the Minister for being here — for listening and responding — and Paul Frew for summarising Members' comments. Sinn Féin tabled the motion because it is clear that the lack of regulation in the non-surgical…
Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank the Members who tabled the motion and the Minister for being present to respond to the debate on this important issue. It is essential that we seek to minimise the chance of vulnerable people being exploited. We need to be confident that treatments are safe and of a high…
I am sorry: Liz and I spoke at the same time there. First, are the figures that you mentioned UK-wide or are they for Northern Ireland? Secondly, is there a role for councils in the environmental health space in the interim?
I thank the Minister for giving way. You mentioned illegal products and Botox products. Given that you have said that you will keep an eye on what is happening across the water in Britain, I ask that we look at what is happening in the South.

Deputy Speaker, with your indulgence, I shall deviate from the motion just for a moment to acknowledge that my counterpart in the Government of Ireland, Stephen Donnelly, the Minister for Health, lost his seat in the general election over the weekend. It is a matter of regret for me, because, over the last six months,…
I support the motion and the amendment. The start of the motion refers to "greater regulation", but the issue is that, in many instances, there is, in practice, no regulation. The regulation of non-surgical procedures and products is effectively absent in Northern Ireland. Premises must register with their local…
The rapidly expanding cosmetic industry and its largely unregulated market are pressing issues that I have been raising concerns about for the past few years. We have all heard horror stories about botched treatments of teenagers — children who are not even legally allowed to buy a pint in a pub undergoing cosmetic…
The debate is topical and timely, and I thank the signatories to the motion for bringing it to the House. In recent years, there has been a rapid growth in the popularity — indeed, even a greater normalisation — of non-surgical cosmetic procedures. A number of reasons lie behind the spike in demand. Perhaps one of its…
