Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Health Information and Quality Authority

Ms Mary Dunnion:

In essence I am not able to answer any of Deputy Neville's questions in any true detail. Tusla would be best placed to answer them. One of the key findings in the statutory investigation and, as a consequence, the recommendation, is that what an organisation as large as Tusla requires is a comprehensive workforce strategy which would include all the points the Deputy is making. Unfortunately, that was not evident during our statutory investigation and that is why we made the recommendation we did. We believe the workforce strategy will be available at the end of quarter one of 2019 and we welcome that.
