Text

I thank the Minister for her answer and for breaking it down into a percentage. The Minister will be aware that the disabled community makes up around 25% of the population of Northern Ireland and that that community is woefully under-represented in all workplaces, not just in our Departments and the Civil Service. Is the Minister taking any specific action in her Department to increase the opportunities for people with disabilities to work in the Department of Justice?
