Question:
To ask the Minister of Health for an update on a Young Carers Festival in Northern Ireland.

Answer:

I recognise the immense contribution that young carers make to their families and communities, often balancing their caring duties with education and other aspects of their childhood.

Regrettably due to current financial pressures we are not in a position to offer additional funding for a festival at this time however should funding become available in the future I would be keen to revisit the proposal for a Young Carers Festival.
