On monitoring for the future, what is the best framework for looking at the sustainable development goals in terms of disability and of ensuring they work? Are there frameworks operating in other countries that we can adopt? We need to see progress on these goals. There has been disquiet over the millennium development goals in regard to how much they achieved. Now we have 17 sustainable development goals and have an even greater task. It is important we monitor regularly whether these goals are being achieved and if not, why not, and that if necessary we can then move in a different direction.
