Ms Caroline O'Loughlin:

Yes absolutely. Significant steps have been taken. The key one is the establishment of the interdepartmental group. The Government took a decision in March last year that implementation of equality budgeting should be accelerated and a number of measures should be taken to facilitate that, the key one being the establishment of the interdepartmental group. We also had the expert advisory group which oversees progress of this work and gives critical feedback and expert guidance. Significant work has been done to implement equality budgeting since 2019.
