It is crucial that the Healthy Ireland framework would be considered carefully as it is where health and well-being are embedded in Government policy. It takes a cross-departmental and whole-of-Government approach, and this is crucial for it.

My next question relates to our new communities. A Vision for Change was published 11 years ago and society has changed enormously since. Our population has increased and we are facing challenges that we never had to face before. For example, there are refugees from countries where they experienced female genital mutilation, and there is psychological damage arising from that, not to mention the appalling physical damage. Will the group be able to build that kind of consideration into its work? We have experienced social changes in recent years, and even in the past six or seven we have seen an impact from social media on every one of us, never mind vulnerable young people. How will that be built into the consideration?
