Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency

2:00 am

Ms Kate Duggan:

When any of those HIQA reports bring a concern to us, it is about immediate implementation of the actions that are required to mitigate risk. In that case, and Mr. Hone can speak to this, HIQA has accepted our compliance plan and our action plan. That is reported to Mr. Hone in terms of compliance. It is a new service. It is a service that is going to take us a little longer to get to the standard we would want. Some of that is about that supply of professionally qualified social workers. It is not about the resourcing or the money but the supply of them to be able to undertake those duties.
