Mr. Pat Smyth:
The main services we provide on the residential side are in relatively standard residential care units which we have bought privately for between two and four children housed with our staff. The children are usually in residential placements for a period of time. It is seen as an interim treatment, or a facility where their behaviours are stabilised and I hope they work back down into more standard foster care arrangements.
