NI has been working together on tackling this awful disease. We need to keep at it. When your loved one is lying in hospital, who built the ward will be the last thought on their mind. Let’s build the capacity we need. We fully support the army being used to build necessary beds.

More PPE for Northern Ireland. I raised this matter with Matt Hancock yesterday - glad to see progress. We want to keep frontline staff safe with proper PPE. Need to make sure it’s getting to the people who need it.

If you want delivery for all - Vote 🗳 DUP❎ on 12th December.

Useful meeting along with party colleague @Buchanan_dup and @CommunitiesNI discussing a wide range of topics, most importantly the effect of the bedroom tax and PIP delays and reviews.

.@NigelDoddsDUP We are focused on delivering extra funding for our hosptials, schools, police and working with the Government to get a good deal as we leave the European Union. We will not support efforts in Parliament that would take away the Government's negotiating leverage.

Good meeting and visit with Northern Ireland Ambulance Service ⁦@NIAS999⁩ ⁦@PaulaBradleyMLA⁩.
