OFMDFM’s own statement was recently approved by the OFMDFM Departmental Board.
A draft set of targets for IP2 has been developed, building on progress from IP1, and aligning with Executive Priorities as expressed by the PfG. This target set has been submitted to Ministers for consideration.
The views of the SD stakeholder group received in response to SDU’s consultation questionnaire have informed the development of IP2 to this point and will continue to do so.
