Francie Molloy: 1. asked the Minister of Health, Social Services and Public Safety to outline any proposals for dealing with cancelled hospital appointments. (AQO 3687/11-15)
Francie Molloy: Go raibh maith agat. I thank the Minister for his answer. I would like him to separate the number of appointments that patients cancelled from the number of those that consultants, private clinics and hospitals cancelled. How do the latter cancellations relate to the amount of money that is being paid into private clinics?
Francie Molloy: 6. asked the Minister of Enterprise, Trade and Investment how the number of overseas visitors during 2012 compared with the target set out in the Programme for Government. (AQO 3648/11-15)
Francie Molloy: I thank the Minister for her reply, and I regret that the figures are not yet available. Will she tell us how the toing and froing of visitors, North and South, affects visitor numbers here?

Francie Molloy: I apologise; I am not used to multitasking.
Francie Molloy: Question 2 has been withdrawn. Further Education: Neighbourhood Renewal
Francie Molloy: I call Mr Pat Ramsey. I am sorry; Mr Mitchel McLaughlin. [Laughter.]
Francie Molloy: Before we go any further, I want to say two things. First, there should be no cross-debate when the Minister or anyone else is speaking. If anyone has a question to ask, they should ask it. That is straightforward. The other thing is that if people want to ask a supplementary question they need to rise, and continue to rise. School Building Programme: Construction Jobs
Francie Molloy: That question was quite a distance from south Belfast. Primary Schools: Literacy and Numeracy Assessments
Francie Molloy: Mickey Brady. Sorry — my mistake again. Robin Newton.
Francie Molloy: Will the Member give way?
Francie Molloy: Will the Member give way?
Francie Molloy: Will the Member give way?
Francie Molloy: Will the Member explain how he can say that the DUP and the SDLP are pro-life when they are now legislating, for the first time, for abortion to take place under the National Health Service? They are now saying — [Interruption.]
Francie Molloy: The amendment is very clear.
