Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what recent discussions she has had with the First Minister on early intervention policies in Northern Ireland.
This question was answered on 11th March 2015
Getting Early Intervention right is crucial to breaking the inter-generational cycle of many social problems. By improving outcomes for children who have had a difficult start in life we can help them to meet their hopes and ambitions.
Early Intervention policies are a devolved issue in Northern Ireland.
The First Minister has not asked to discuss early intervention polices with my Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland or me.
