Dr. Mary Keogh:

At that moment there is a growing consensus among a number of governments. For example, UK Aid and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade are looking at the Washington Group on Disability Statistics, which provides a short set of questions that can be applied to statistical surveys within a country to gather data on disability. Currently, there is investment at UN level for that. Therefore, I believe that may be the framework for the future. Again, because we are working through a global framework, different countries will have a different approach.

This appears to be the consensus at the moment. There is progress on that and I can provide further detail. I can send the committee a paper, if that is helpful.
