Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the report or rationale he used to base his decision to set aside the findings and recommendations of the 2022 report from the Anti-Poverty Strategy Co-Design group.

Answer:

The Anti-Poverty Strategy is still in development and final decisions on its content will be a matter for the Executive.

Work undertaken by the Co-Design Group under the previous mandate has provided a strong basis for taking this work forward. The final content of the Strategy will be based on and draw from a broad range of resources including inputs from the Anti-Poverty Strategy Expert Advisory Panel and Co-design Group alongside other research.
