Foster Care Issues and the Loss of Positive Care Services: Engagement with Tusla

Ms Kate Duggan:

Yes. As the Deputy will see in the plan, shared care can be provided within a foster carer's network of supports. There could be almost a second foster family within that network who support the foster carer. I would be delighted to meet the Deputy or any other members to discuss in greater detail the plan we are developing, once we have written it, and to talk through the implementation we are going to carry out.
