View answerI can inform the deputy that I was pleased to receive a copy of the report on Positive Mental Health in Schools following its launch on 12th September last. I have also been asked by the Joint Committee on Education and Skills to respond the range of recommendations therein following their comprehensive examination of this important matter.
I have requested that officials of my Department review the document and its recommendations in the context of the current policy on Wellbeing and Mental Health and I would intend to revert to the Committee in this regard shortly.
