Northern Ireland will be the only part of the UK not to provide every baby with free books.
Northern Ireland is set to be the only part of the UK not to provide every baby with free books due to Stormont funding cuts.The programme, run by the Book Trust, provided more than 20,000 families in Northern Ireland with free books and reading advice every year.
"This is a very early years introduction to reading for pleasure and reading for connection," he said."By delivering it through that trusted relationship with the health visitor those families who need extra support are given extra support." Mr Eisenstadt said that the DE funding covered more than half of the annual cost of the scheme and Book Trust will no longer be able to afford to give every baby a book.
