The six Health and Social Care Trusts in Northern Ireland have worked in partnership to develop new draft Equality and Disability Action Plans for 2023-28.
These draft equality and disability action plans outline the proposed actions to be taken forward by the Health and Social Care Trusts over the next 5 years to address Section 75 inequalities, and to promote positive attitudes towards people with a disability and to encourage participation in public life. The draft plans have been informed by an audit of inequalities and engagement with experts by experience and key stakeholders.
We are now seeking views on our draft Equality and Disability Action Plans and welcome your feedback regarding the potential impact of our proposed actions or how they could be improved. We are keen to hear from anyone – service users, carers, staff and trade unions and we value input from those with lived experience.
We are consulting for 16 weeks beginning 5 June 2023, all comments should be returned by 25 September 2023.
