Question

To ask the Scottish Government when it will publish a public consultation on a Learning Disabilities, Autism and Neurodivergence Bill.


Answer

The Scottish Government has published a public consultation on a Learning Disabilities, Autism and Neurodivergence Bill today, 21 December 2023. It will be open until 21 April 2024. The consultation seeks views on proposals to better protect, respect and champion the rights of people with learning disabilities, autistic people and neurodivergent people.

Publishing this consultation delivers on our commitment to consult on the Bill by the end of 2023. I would encourage everyone with a view to respond.
