<p>We have undertaken engagement with a range of stakeholders, disabled people’s organisations
and disabled people ahead of the forthcoming publication of the health and disability
Green Paper. This will ensure the Green Paper focuses on the issues that are important
to those who use our services.</p><p> </p><p>This has included several consultation
events, face to face prior to the pandemic and through video after, attended by disabled
people, representatives from charities and disabled people’s organisations from across
the country.</p><p> </p><p>We will produce the Green Paper in a range of accessible
formats. Engagement will continue alongside the formal consultation after publication
where we will maximise the way we engage using a variety of digital methods such as
on-line video platforms and Citizen Space. There is not a fixed budget for the public
consultation, but it will come from the Department’s existing funding allocation.</p>
