As the Minister is aware, the current area based childhood, ABC, programme is jointly funded through his Department and Atlantic Philanthropies. The funding provided by Atlantic Philanthropies is due to expire later this year and I would welcome a statement from the Minister today in regard to how he plans to ensure this critical early intervention programme is maintained and strengthened in the years ahead.
