I have a very short time. I have one quick question. I am concerned as to whether a family providing foster care is receiving more support. If there is €200 of a disparity, that does not seem like a lot of money for a private provider to be able to give more support for the care provided. This family has a visit four times a year from a social worker, generally four different social workers, which they refer to as a box-ticking exercise, but they have received no response to requests for support. I will communicate with Ms Duggan on the case directly.
