In responding to this consultation NICCY will be providing answers to relevant individual questions and advises the Department of Health (“the Department”) to also consider the impact of the proposed outline upon children and young people’s rights, particularly in light of the obligations outlined within Article 24 UNCRC. NICCY has provided detailed answers to relevant questions within the Consultation survey within Appendix 1. NICCY further advises the Department to take account of its obligations to the health and wellbeing of children and young people as outlined within the NI Executive’s Children and Young People’s Strategy 2020-2030, which also recognises Article 24 UNCRC.
