986. Deputy Erin McGreehan asked the Minister for Health if her Department is currently on schedule to meet its obligations under the first Programme Plan of Action of the National Human Rights Strategy for Disabled People; and to outline any risks to delivery that have already been identified. [62892/25]
View answerThe First Programme Plan of Action for the National Human Rights Strategy for Disabled People is currently under development with extensive collaboration ongoing with all government departments and relevant public bodies and agencies leading on the delivery of commitments and priority actions across the five pillars of the Strategy.
The department is working cooperatively and in partnership with the Department of Children, Disability and Equality to deliver on Pillar 4, focussed on Wellbeing and Health.
The First Programme Plan of Action will cover the period to 2026 and it is expected that Government will publish it in Q4 2025. This will be the first of three Programme Plans of Action, each of which will ensure 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 are currently under development and 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), and take into account risks to delivery.
