The Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) Inquiry panel has written to political party leaders urging a “speedy implementation” of its recommendations.
The inquiry studied allegations of abuse in 22 homes and other residential institutions between 1922 to 1995.
Its verdict recommended compensation, a memorial and a public apology to abuse survivors.
The panel was chaired by Sir Anthony Hart.
Sir Anthony said a tax-free payment should be made to all survivors, including in homes and institutions that were not covered by the inquiry.
