Consultation Equality and Disability Action Plans 2023-28

The Northern Ireland Blood Transfusion Service has developed new draft Equality and Disability Action Plans for 2023-28.

The Equality Action Plan looks at actions we want to take to tackle inequalities across all equality categories. The purpose of our Disability Action Plan is to look at things we want to do to promote positive attitudes towards disabled people and encourage their participation in our work areas.

We are now seeking views on our draft Equality and Disability Action Plans, and would welcome you taking the time to respond to this consultation exercise.

The consultation will close at 5pm on Monday 3rd July 2023.

We are jointly consulting together with 10 other Health and Social Care organisations who we work with on equality and disability matters. The Equality Unit in the Business Services Organisation, who support us in our work, are co-ordinating this consultation on our behalf.
