Question:
To ask the Minister of Education, following the Healthy Happy Minds pilot, what steps he will take to ensure the provision of counselling services in primary schools.

Answer:

An independent post project evaluation of the pilot has been carried out and is available on the Department’s website.

I will assess the findings of the evaluation and take the time to consider this along with wider research / feedback from stakeholders in developing the Department’s longer-term approach.
