Question:
To ask the Minister of Education to detail any plans he has to reinitiate counselling services for primary schools.

Answer:

The Healthy Happy Minds Pilot concluded on 31 March 2023. An evaluation of the pilot has been carried out and is now published on the Department’s website. I will take the time to assess the findings of the evaluation along with wider research / feedback from stakeholders in developing the Department’s longer-term approach.
