What Professor Gilligan is saying is that there needs to be a permanent commitment on that. My reading of it is that that is what is missing. There is no continuum; there is no permanency.

I believe it was Dr. Halton who said that the reintroduction of what we had in the late 1990s is required. Tusla is a new organisation that was formed long after that. We have to go back to the service level agreement that was in place before the formation of Tusla. That seems to be the missing piece. When Tusla was formed certain service level agreements were not followed through on, in particular those concerning placements. Is that a fair reading of it?
