I ask about two items of legislation. Under the Department of Health, when will we see legislation on the merger of the Opticians' Board with the Health and Social Care Professionals' Council? Under the Department of Justice and Equality, when will we see legislation on the new commission to merge the Equality Authority and the Human Rights Commission?
