HIQA Report: Engagement with Tusla

2:00 pm

Mr. Fred McBride:

We can do that. Suffice to say that we have managed to reduce the time. Last year, when we were relying on the National Recruitment Service, NRS, when we took more control over that we reduced the period from 30 weeks to 19. We have a target to reduce it again to 14 weeks from end to end, from advertising the post to getting the bum on the seat, as it were.
