‹ Questions on Promised Legislation School counsellors commitment
Summary
Deputy Pat Buckley asks how many additional school counsellors have been provided and what further mental health commitment was promised. The Minister replies that no legislation is proposed or necessary and suggests a parliamentary question to the Minister for Health.
Section 6 of the programme for Government relates to mental health and states that further investment must go into primary and secondary schools and additional counsellors must be provided.
How many additional counsellors have been provided to date? What is the further commitment that was promised in August?
Comment on this
There is no legislation proposed or necessary on that matter so perhaps the Deputy will put it to the Minister for Health in the form of a parliamentary question.
