View answerThe Child and Family Agency which was established on 1 January, 2014, is in the process of consolidating its services. The provision of counselling services is currently under consideration in the context of services previously provided by the Family Support Agency and which now come under the remit of the Child and Family Agency. In this regard, the Agency intends to review and streamline existing services and at this point will not be procuring counselling services from external groups.
