I have been advised by the HSE that the premises and resources at Rath na nOg, Castleblaney, Co. Monaghan are being re designated to provide services as a child well-being centre.

The HSE has also advised that this child well-being centre will provide specialised time limited interventions to children within the catchment area in conjunction with social work services under the auspices of Children and Family Services. This community resource will be of much benefit to children and families in the local area.

Negotiations are in train with the Department of Education and Science with regard to the provision of educational support and interventions as part of the overall package of services.
