Ms Bronagh Gibson:
Our most recent inspection in Dublin south central indicates slow progress implementing some standard business processes and adhering to timeframes. For example, we found that the required timeframes regarding the assessment of referrals in order to have enough information to make a call about the level of risk to a child or the level of need were not being followed.
