I propose to take Questions Nos. 168 and 180 together.

Following on from the launch of the National Human Rights Strategy for Disabled People 2025-2030 on 3rd September, Government is committed to its full delivery and implementation.

The Strategy will be delivered across three two-year Programme Plans of Action, ensuring an agile and reflexive approach to delivery that is capable of tackling policy issues as they arise across the lifetime of the Strategy. These Programme Plans will set out how the key priority actions under each commitment will be delivered on, by whom, the timeframe for delivery, and relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

The First Programme Plan of Action 2025-2026 is currently under development with extensive engagement ongoing across Government. It is expected that Government will publish the Plan in Q4 2025.
