Motion: Commissioned Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Services
Proposed:
That this Assembly recognises the need for commissioned services dedicated to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); further recognises the need for a regional diagnosis service and specific ADHD mental health services to cater for those with both ADHD and mental illnesses; notes that many people have had to seek ADHD assessments and diagnosis privately at their own expense; further notes that many parents have been unable to access ADHD assessments for their children; calls on the Minister of Health to engage with Health and Social Care Trusts on potential options for a regional ADHD service that encapsulates diagnosis, treatment and mental health support; and further calls for improved awareness of ADHD within government agencies, schools and workplaces.

Motion: UK-EU Customs Union
Proposed:
That this Assembly recognises that both north–south and east–west trade are essential to the Northern Ireland economy; notes that the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union has recklessly and predictably resulted in new and unnecessary trade friction; reaffirms the importance of Northern Ireland’s dual market access and the Windsor Framework, which provides practical and necessary protections to mitigate some of the worst consequences of Brexit; acknowledges that despite these protections, substantial Brexit-related bureaucracy continues to place burdens on businesses; further recognises that growing geopolitical uncertainty underlines the need for stable, secure and rules-based trading relationships with our nearest neighbours; further notes that the fastest and clearest way to reduce trade friction is through closer alignment between the United Kingdom and its European neighbours; and calls on the UK Government to commence negotiations with the European Union on establishing a UK–EU customs union, or equivalent comprehensive customs arrangement, in order to address remaining Brexit-related trade bureaucracy and build on the foundations provided by the Windsor Framework.
