Ms Michele Clarke:

Yes. There is an action plan, that is produced by the area, that HIQA monitors. That information comes into the Department. We monitor that. We, in the Department, have monthly performance meetings with Tusla and issues such as this are brought to our attention. We look to see what improvements are being made on an ongoing basis. The Dublin-mid-Leinster area, in particular, would have difficulties across a number of issues in terms of staffing and link workers.
