Committee on Disability Matters

Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Liam Herrick:

In a way, that is a question that is perhaps best directed to the Department of Children, Disability and Equality. We have certainly made recommendations, as Dr. Elliott has already outlined, that the strategy would be grounded on measurable outcomes and there would be accountability within it. We have made offers to play a role in that monitoring, which there has not been a final resolution of yet. Ultimately, that is a matter for the Government and we do not have a decisive role in what the outcome of that process will be.
