Answer
While the Bill is primarily health led and focused on health and Social Care Trust functions, officials are liaising with colleagues from the Department of Health regarding the Adult Protection Bill and are actively considering its potential implications for the education sector.
The department has not engaged with any department other than Health at this time in respect of the Bill.
