Speaking ahead of the Executive meeting, the Alliance MLAs criticised Health Minister Simon Hamilton, saying he had delayed details about the group, which was originally announced in January, for long enough. At the time, Mr Hamilton said the group was designed to make recommendations on how the issue of FFA could be addressed.
A fatal foetal abnormality diagnosis is when doctors believe an unborn child has a terminal condition and as a result will die in the womb or shortly after birth.
In a statement, Mr Lunn said: "The vote on our amendments around FFA was almost a month ago. Before it took place, the DUP announced it would establish a working group on FFA. Still we wait for it to appear.
"To not even have an idea of its make-up or how it will operate this far on indicates the entire exercise was nothing more than a ploy to get through the election without having to tackle the issue."
Mr Dickson added: "Tomorrow's meeting of the Executive is another opportunity for the matter to be prioritised.
"The only reason any progress has been made on this matter at Executive is because Justice Minister David Ford raised it there, as the DUP did not want it on the agenda. We need progress on it and we need it now, so the promises made to Sarah Ewart and others can be fulfilled."
