The purpose of the 116000 phone number is to provide a contact number to families if children go missing. The Department of Children and Youth Affairs has had ongoing discussions with other Government Departments and NGOs in relation to the development of a hotline for missing children and I intend that my Department will liaise with the Department of Justice and Equality to progress this matter.
