Ms Kate Duggan:

They are certainly there from when we started to look at our capacity across the services back in 2021 even. There was always a small level of what we called bespoke local area arrangements where either a young person had been in foster or residential care and was discharged or they were volunteered in to the State by their parents because they were unable to look after them because of the risk to them or to siblings. We did then see an exponential growth post Covid-19.
