Dr. Aideen Hartney:

Each of those would sit with a different Department or unit within a Department. The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth is leading on the equality legislation review whereas the Department of Education is leading on the EPSEN side of things. The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth took ownership of the assisted decision-making legislation. The mental health side is one of the anomalies coming from the transfer of functions between the Departments of Health and Children, Equality, Disability Integration and Youth because the mental health division stayed with the Department of Health. We have advised it is very important that the connection between the disability unit, now in the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, would remain with Department of Health colleagues. That would have a bearing on the ownership of that legislation.
