Proposed:
That this Assembly condemns the continued high occurrence of racist and sectarian motivated hate crime witnessed throughout Northern Ireland; believes the response from the Executive has been inadequate; and calls on the Executive to combat all forms of hate crime by introducing hate crime legislation by the end of this Assembly mandate, undertaking an immediate review of the Tackling Paramilitarism, Criminality and Organised Crime programme and providing additional resources to the courts and PSNI.

Motion: Access to CAR-T Cell Therapy
Proposed:
That this Assembly notes with sadness the recent passing of young Armagh mother Catherine Sherry in King's College Hospital, London, where she was receiving CAR-T cell therapy for lymphoma; recognises the urgent need for equitable access to CAR-T cell therapy in Northern Ireland; calls on the Minister of Health to urgently deliver a local service to avoid the separation of sick patients from their families, and the complications and costs associated with travel for treatment in England or Scotland; and further calls on the Minister to work, in the interim, with his counterpart in Dublin to ensure that CAR-T cell therapy is available to patients from Northern Ireland on the island of Ireland.
