Under the Programme for Government, we are committed to delivering a step change in disability services and to advancing the rights and improving the lives of people with disabilities. To deliver on this I established a standalone Cabinet Committee on Disability.
The Cabinet Committee on Disability oversees the implementation of Programme for Government commitments in the area of disability with specific focus on children’s disability services, as well as disability more generally under the Government’s new National Human Rights Strategy for Disabled People 2025-2030.
This Committee has met eight times to date, most recently on the 27th April and it is due to meet again shortly.
To date the Committee has considered issues including the new national human rights strategy for disabled people, the provision of therapists in special schools, improving the delivery of services, and reform of the Assessment of Need (AON) process.
Questions Nos. 60 to 78, inclusive, resubmitted.
