Ms Joan Carthy:

To pick up on the question about the Parliamentary Budget Office or somebody overseeing this piece of work, whatever disability proofing needs to be done, or if there is to be work done on the data and unmet needs, there does need to be somebody in a position to oversee it. Such a person would be able to ensure all Departments were being pulled in in order that it would not end up falling within the remit of one Department. That needs an overseer. I hope that would help to produce the information we require.

On the key indicators, even at this level, it is a matter of looking at the unmet needs and the data. They should be a starting point for the key performance indicators even before we get to measure the impact on people with disabilities. We should include how we will gather the information we require as part of the KPIs.
