Mr. Fred McBride:

I shall allocate some of the questions to my colleagues.

Deputy Lisa Chambers asked about support social workers. Our social workers are now more mobile. One wonders in this day and age why we did not have mobility earlier. Social workers use all sorts of mobile device. It means that they can do work, rather than sit for three hours doing very little while waiting for a case to be called in court. Case recording was one of the issues highlighted by HIQA. Social workers can visit families and type up case notes in their car or somewhere quiet which are immediately linked with the national child care information system, NCCIS. Social workers have told us mobile technology has saved them between five and ten hours a week, which represents real progress.

Prevention has been mentioned. Dr. Gillen leads the prevention, partnership and family support piece about which we talked. Does she wish talk more about the matter?
