Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion
3:00 pm
Ms Fiona Bourke:
I wish to pick up on a few comments. I thank Ms Davidson. It was very interesting to hear from her. We have good ongoing co-operation with Wales. We met with the future generations commissioner last month. It is always a good opportunity to share experiences. Ms Davidson talked about a journey, and Wales is further along on a journey. However, equally, we have experience that the future generations commissioner was happy to learn from us. We are looking at opportunities to deepen that co-operation through the Ireland-Wales bilateral relationship. We are earlier in our journey. We recognise there is much more to do to embed the well-being framework across the system. We are looking at developing indicators for a place-based or subnational approach to build the local level approach that Ms Davidson talked about in Wales. We are also looking at how to further embed sustainable well-being into policy and have continued engagement with stakeholders. We recognise that embedding this across government is an ongoing process.
