Text

I thank the Minister for her comprehensive answer. It is widely accepted that establishing, as she mentioned, one child-friendly setting, where children do not have to repeat their story constantly, provides better support for child victims of sexual abuse. The Minister mentioned the Barnahus scheme. Will she give us more of an overview of what her Department's plans are to establish such a scheme? We know that it has been very successful in the South.
