Written answers

The Independent Review Group established to examine the role of voluntary organisations in health and personal social services began its deliberations in September 2017.  

The Group’s terms of reference provided for:

An examination of current arrangements across the health and social care sector;

Consideration of issues currently arising, and those likely to arise in the future; and

Recommendations on how the relationship between the State and voluntary organisations should evolve in the future.

The Group was composed of Dr Catherine Day (Chair), Professor Jane Grimson and Professor Deirdre Madden. 

The Independent Review Group has now submitted its final report. The report is currently under consideration in my Department, and I hope to bring it to Government soon. The intention is to publish it shortly thereafter. This will most likely be in the New Year.
