Ms Anne Tansey:

I can come in on Pathfinder. As the Senator will be aware, this was a collaborative project across several Departments to try to align and streamline youth mental health supports. There was a proposal as a result of the work that a cross-government youth mental health Pathfinder unit would be established with the participation of the Departments of Health, Education and Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. We have received an update from the Department of Health on this. The Department continues to engage extensively with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform with the objective of agreeing an implementation option for the Pathfinder project. We have been told that the demands on both Departments as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic have presented challenges and probably have delayed progress in this area.
