Great to join Councillor James McPhilemy at Pollock Hall on Saturday for the first of the two Condorrat community clean-ups. Big thanks to everyone who helped organise and to the council team for collecting everything afterwards. Always good to get stuck in and do our bit!

Assisted Dying Bill Voted AGAINST
You can watch my question to the Health Secretary below. I asked whether the NHS has the funding to deliver assisted dying alongside its core priorities like reducing waiting lists. He confirmed there is no money allocated to set up the service under this Bill.
