The Hospital is implementing the measures NDA has directed. 3.3 Compliance with the Act - 2014 and 2015 Last year, the NDA noted with concern that a number of larger public bodies slipped below the 3% target for two successive years in 2014 and 2015. The NDA has followed up with these and other public bodies to get additional information on what actions were taken to achieve compliance, using the statutory powers set out in Section 49 of the Disability Act 2005. The NDA has reviewed the responses with due regard to the extent of the effort made by bodies to improve compliance. The NDA has also met with many of these public bodies to support and monitor their progress in implementing the necessary measures that will help them to meet their obligations under Part 5 of the Disability Act 2005. While noting the actions these bodies have progressed where practicable to achieve the target and keeping these under review, no determinations of non-compliance have issued thus far. The following bodies who received letters under Section 49 of the Disability Act 2005 requesting additional information to enable the NDA to assess if they had taken all practicable measures, have in 2016 exceeded the 3% employment levels.
