Answer
I recognise the importance of the advice sector in delivering modern, quality advice services to support people in Northern Ireland.
It is intended that the new advice strategy “Advising, Supporting, Empowering – a strategy for the delivery of generalist advice services in Northern Ireland 2015-2020” will be published in October. I believe this strategy will contribute to my Department’s continuing support for advice services by guiding delivery of those services in a changing environment.
