  2. Debate contribution: Statutory Duty of Candour

    Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. There seems to be some misunderstanding about what an individual duty of candour is — one with criminal sanctions. It is not about penalising doctors or other medical professionals who make genuine mistakes. It is about ensuring that there is a culture of…

  6. Debate contribution: Statutory Duty of Candour

    I just want to come back on that point. First, as Miss McAllister said, there is no reference to criminal sanctions in the motion. Secondly, do you not think that this is the time to have those discussions, in order to outline what people's key concerns are, from all sides of the debate, so that we can move forward to…

  8. Debate contribution: Statutory Duty of Candour

    We purposely left criminal sanctions out of the motion because we understand that a conversation needs to be had about that. You might want to actually engage on the issue in the first instance, for example, in the Committee, where we have discussed it time and time again. You do not even sit there: you walk out…

  10. Debate contribution: Statutory Duty of Candour

    I do not lead on health any more. My colleagues and I have met the different unions many times. Does the Member agree that the motion has been proposed today out of sheer frustration that, seven years on from the inquiry into hyponatraemia, we are no further forward in this space?

  12. Debate contribution: Statutory Duty of Candour

    In addressing the motion, I will set out the fact that the SDLP has always stood alongside the families who were impacted, be that by Dr Watt or the scandals at Muckamore Abbey Hospital, and alongside those impacted by hyponatraemia or other cases. The families fell victim to a litany of failures by those who were…

  13. Debate contribution: Statutory Duty of Candour

    Today, my sympathy and that of my party is with the many families in Northern Ireland who have suffered greatly as a result of medical negligence but have not always been able to get to the truth. They are very much in my thoughts today. I understand the motivation behind the motion, but my concerns and those of my…

  14. Debate contribution: Statutory Duty of Candour

    I thank the proposers of the motion and the amendment for the opportunity to contribute to a very important debate. Since joining the Health Committee in February of this year, I have met and talked to a wide range of individuals who have been dreadfully let down by the healthcare system in Northern Ireland. They have…

  15. Debate contribution: Statutory Duty of Candour

    Go raibh míle maith agat, a Phríomh-LeasCheann Comhairle. I thank Alliance for tabling this very important motion. We have had numerous discussions on the issue in the short time that the Health Committee has been in place. Without speaking for others, I think that we are all very much on the same page on the issue.…

  17. Debate contribution: Statutory Duty of Candour

    I beg to move I rise to propose our motion calling on the Health Minister to introduce a statutory organisational and individual duty of candour by the end of the mandate. Since the beginning of the hyponatraemia inquiry in 2004, following the deaths of five children in Northern Ireland, there have been consistent…

  18. Debate contribution: Fair Employment (Monitoring) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024

    I support the motion, as outlined by the Chair of the Committee. We discussed it at the Committee and supported the largely procedural matter, which just brings equality into place for our teachers across all sectors.

    • As a minister

    I beg to move Today, we seek the Assembly's approval for the Fair Employment (Monitoring) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024. It might be useful to Members for me to begin by setting out the principal considerations that informed the preparation of the statutory rule (SR). The Executive Office proposes to…

  20. Debate contribution: Climate Change

    On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I think that the Minister tried to call me a johnny-come-lately. He might like to correct the record, because, if he has any knowledge of the number of times that I have been involved in the No Gas Caverns process, along with John Stewart and, indeed, his two…

  23. Debate contribution: Climate Change

    On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I believe that, at Question Time, the Education Minister misled the House by saying that the House did not pass a motion last week calling for him to review the eligibility criteria for the RAISE programme. The motion, which was passed last week: "calls on the…

  24. Debate contribution: Climate Change

    Apologies, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle, for missing the starting pistol. We are well aware of the Minister's fondness for marathons, and that is reflected in the length of his statements. Today, the Minister has highlighted once again the need for increased investment to address the climate emergency. Can he tell…

  25. Debate contribution: Climate Change

    I thank the Minister for coming to the Chamber to make his statement. Minister, can you provide any detail on the timeline for completing an equality and rural impact assessment of the final climate action plan to ensure that the needs of rural communities and farming families are addressed?
