Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Discussion with CEO of Tusla on Future Developments and Update on Childcare Facilities
Mr. Brian Lee:
The percentage that is high at any time is always less than 1% anyway. It is a very low number of the overall services that are in the higher zone. In terms of specific breakdown, I will have to look at the figures in that respect. The number 37 was mentioned on the last occasion and we wrote to the committee advising that 18 of those had been de-escalated. It is a fluid process. Some come in, some go off and some come back onto the process. We currently have 41 in that status.
