Amharc ar fhreagraThe Cabinet Committee on Social Policy and Public Services last met on 9 December 2019. There is no date set for the next meeting.
In the period since the Cabinet Committee's last meeting, the full Cabinet has frequently considered and received updates on a range of social policy matters and issues relating to public services, including on the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic in these areas.
Since the start of 2020, the Cabinet Committee on Government Response to COVID-19, which considers a range of issues relating to the pandemic including social implications, has met on five occasions.
In addition to the meetings of the full Cabinet and of Cabinet Committees, I meet with Ministers on an individual basis to focus on particular issues, including issues relating to social policy and public services.
