Mr. Pat Smyth:

I think the work is done on the CYPSCs. It is about trying to co-ordinate local agencies and areas to understand where the needs are increasing or have increased for services that are provided by family resource centres. Increasingly the demand around the commuter belt has shown that it is the area where the population of children has increased hugely in the past 20 years and to a very large extent it is where we see an increasing demand for services - the kind of services that are delivered through family resource centres which are about much more than providing or assisting in the provision of supports to children who are not in the care of the State but are maybe trying to help children who are in a more vulnerable perspective with other agencies. It is getting some agencies like the family resource centres to help co-ordinate those kinds of services. Increasingly we find demands from the CYPSCs and studies being done in particular areas to identify where there is a need for family resource centres. We get those requests increasingly and they are really the basis for where new moneys go to creating new family resource centres.
