Part of Ema's statutory functions includes the duty to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the Autism Strategy 2023-28 (the strategy). To support this process, Ema has developed the first in a series of briefings aimed at helping to inform awareness and understanding of the progress being made in relation to delivery against the strategy’s objectives and associated statutory duties.
This initial briefing is aimed at highlighting high-level areas that Ema believes are critical to the future successful delivery of the strategy.
Each Northern Ireland department has a statutory duty to co-operate with the Department of Health in relation to the preparation, review and implementation of the strategy and to implement that part of the strategy which falls within their responsibilities.
Ema has therefore shared this briefing with all NI Executive Ministers, MLAs and NI MPs.
