Conclusion
With new families soon to start arriving in Northern Ireland as part of the Afghan resettlement scheme, and the potential for refugees from Ukraine, it is important for the Executive to reflect on and learn the lessons of the previous Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme. We are pleased to hear that Northern Ireland will soon join other parts of the UK in having a refugee integration strategy. We ask that the issues we have cited, including care for refugees once they have been settled, appropriate healthcare and addressing the Belfast-centred provision of services be addressed as part of the final strategy, and done so at pace.
