Said Mr Middleton: “The Crisis Intervention Service has been a vital support for many who have needed assistance during the most difficult of times.
“Funding for this service in the North West has been extended on a short term basis on a number of occasions.
“With funding once again due to come to an end at the end of the month, a solution needs to be found to fund the service in the long term.
“Our constituency has witnessed the devastating loss of far too many young people and people of all ages.
“It is vital that the Health Minister and the Department for Health ensure that there is support available for those who need it most.
“I will be urging all of the relevant stakeholders to step up and ensure this service is funded.”
The Assembly debate on the Crisis Intervention Service will take place next Tuesday, September 15.
