Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail who will decide and set the time bound, measurable actions targeted to progress the Disability Strategy outcomes mentioned in his statement to the Assembly today.

Answer:

The draft Disability Strategy includes a range of measures which will be considered and reported on throughout its lifespan to give a holistic picture of where the Strategy is working and, just as importantly, where it’s not. Once agreed, the final Strategy will also be supported by an Action Plan that will have clear delivery milestones and targets to ensure that the Executive is delivering.

The Action Plan will be a living and evolving document, with all Executive departments contributing to it, working in partnership with the new Northern Ireland Disability Forum, once established.
