Public Accounts Committee
Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency
2:00 am
Mr. Pat Smyth:
Yes. We can give the committee some of those figures now. The SEA costs €700,000. A statutory placement - one of our own - costs about €450,000 per child. A bought-in or procured price is about €425,000 per child per year. A child at the highest level, requiring a special care piece, is between €1.2 million and €1.5 million per annum.
