Answer

The Task and Finish Group met on 27 March and 24 April. The next meeting is scheduled for 5 June. Additional bi-lateral engagement (not all in meeting format) has taken place between my officials and DoH, DfE, DfC, DoF, DAERA and NISRA.

I hope to bring proposals to the Executive in the coming days.
