Joint Committee on Health and Children debate -

Section 39 Organisations: Motion

I remind all those present to ensure their mobile phones are switched off for the duration of the meeting, as they interfere with the broadcasting of the proceedings. I apologise for the delay in starting the meeting and thank delegates for their patience.

Before we deal with the main business of the meeting, I have accepted an emergency motion in the name of the Joint Committee on Health and Children. Will a member of the joint committee, please, move it?

I move:

That the Joint Committee on Health and Children make contact with each of the section 39 organisations to invite them:

(1) to outline the funding model and breakdown of different sources of funding;

(2) to outline the remuneration received by all executive staff and the funding source from which such remuneration is derived in terms of public, private or fund raising sources or the percentage from each;

(3) to outline any demonstrable decline in public support for the efforts of section 39 organisations in terms of fund raising or other supports following revelations about other organisations in recent months; and

that we, as a committee, and I, as chairperson, make a statement to appeal for calm from the public pending ongoing investigations in order to avoid unnecessary and unintended collateral damage and that people continue to support our charitable organisations under section 39.

I second the motion.

Question put and agreed to.

I ask the clerk to the committee to make contact with the section 39 organisations following the meeting. Is that agreed to? Agreed.
