Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail (i) their plans for releasing a comprehensive road map out of lockdown, with dates, similar to that released by the Westminster Government; (ii) any concerns they have regarding the absence of such a plan for a single part of the UK; and (iii) the communications policy they will employ to clarify the differences in approach from the Executive, relative to that of the Westminster Government.

Answer:

The Executive published its Pathway out of Restrictions document on 2 March 2021.

The document is available at: https://www.executiveoffice-ni.gov.uk/sites/default/files/publications/execoffice/executives-pathway-out-of-restrictions.pdf

The Executive takes decisions on easing restrictions in consideration of the local public health context and the communications approach reflects this. The Executive’s high profile public information campaign has evolved in line with our pathway out of restrictions and continues to run across multiple platforms.
