Dr. Alison Harnett:

I am happy to come in on some of those and points my colleagues might wish to comment on some of them also. On the housing question and what our engagement looks like, as I mentioned earlier, it has been a model of good engagement. A survey has been carried out as part of the consultation for the strategy and more than 1,400 people responded, from people with lived experiences to other organisations like ourselves. There have been detailed submissions and we would have made a complex and detailed submission specifically based on the UNCRPD and how that interlinks with the new strategy. There have been focus groups with disabled persons organisations and with the national federation, specifically as a service provider body for a large number of people who have an intellectual disability and with other umbrella bodies. The Senator mentioned the housing and disability steering groups at local authority levels. As the Senator said, they have been developing strategic plans, and we expect the strategy to speak to each of those levels. It will speak to the national level and it will speak to how the housing and disability steering groups are strengthened in the future and how their work will continue at local authority level. The Senator was probably just looking for some detail on our engagement to date.
