My colleague the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality recently published the National LGBTIQ+ Inclusion Strategy II 2024-2028 on 12 June 2025, along with its associated National LGBTIQ+ Inclusion Strategy II - Action Plan 2025-2026.

The remaining actions from the Gender Recognition Act 2025 Review, including the one relating to recognition for people who are non-binary, are included in the National LGBTIQ+ Inclusion Strategy.

A Steering Committee, chaired by the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality, will be established comprising representatives from the LGBTIQ+ community and statutory and non-statutory bodies including Government Departments.

My Department will be participating in progressing relevant actions in line with the Strategy and Action Plan.

I trust this clarifies matters for the Deputy.
