	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2020 answer text <p>The public consultation, <em>A new legal framework for abortion services in Northern Ireland</em>, provided an opportunity for people and organisations in Northern Ireland to contribute their views on how the Government could best deliver on its statutory duty under section 9 of the Northern Ireland (Executive Formation etc.) Act 2019 in implementing the CEDAW Report recommendations. <br> <br> The Government engaged with a wide range of stakeholders who reached out seeking further discussions during the consultation process. However, the consultation process did not collect personal data that would identify a respondent as a person with a disability. We carefully analysed all of the views expressed in the submissions received.</p><p> </p><p>It is the Government’s firm view that the Regulations properly comply with the statutory duty under section 9 of the NIEF Act, and are also compliant with the UK’s obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie grouped question UIN HL5552 question first answered 17/06/2020 15:40:17 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie
