Answer

The New Decade, New Approach document contains a wide range of proposals which, taken together, constitute an ambitious and very challenging package of measures to be taken forward.

Whilst the Executive’s priorities in recent months have been the management of the COVID-19 pandemic and charting the path for recovery, some of the NDNA proposals are already being progressed at a departmental level or are already implemented.

Looking forward, the Executive will soon have the opportunity to consider the totality of the NDNA proposals in the context of work underway on the development of a multi-year PFG from 2021.
