My Department is currently finalising it's Statement of Strategy, 2021-2023, for publication. The Strategy will detail the current and planned priorities of my Department in that period. The Department continues to have wide responsibility for policy, legislation and services in respect of children and young people. In addition, a number of new functions have transferred to the Department including responsibility for policy, legislation and services relating to integration and equality. Responsibility for disability policy and legislation also transferred to the Department, and it is intended that responsibility for disability services will transfer from the Department of Health to the Department at a later date.
