Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on the appointment of a Commissioner for Victims and Survivors.

Answer:

We are currently considering the options for the post of Commissioner for Victims and Survivors.

We are aware that there are significant issues for Victims and Survivors at this time, which makes it important that we consider the way forward fully and move forward in the right way.

In the meantime we recognise that continuity is important for victims and survivors and so we are also ensuring that interim arrangements are in place within the Commission, to allow the provision of continued support for victims and survivors.
