DUP Foyle MLA Gary Middleton has called on the Health Minister to continue funding the Crisis Intervention Service in Derry.
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 on 15th June 2021, I have contacted the Health Minister urging him to be part of the solution 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.”
