Mr. Bernard Gloster:

To be clear and to be fair to the people working in, owning and running Positive Care, there have not been new placements with it since the start of the current procurement process but it is still operating under a previous contract. Twenty-nine young people are still in its care. It still exists and is not gone. There is an indication that there will be a transition. We will work with it. This is a problem with dependency on private care. If it ceases or is disrupted in any way, the State has no choice but to do certain things. It is the same in nursing homes for older people. It is not unique to children. I ask Dr. O'Leary to speak on the 29 and our regulation and oversight of private residential care providers, though not specifically Positive Care Ireland, to ensure that we keep children safe, because we have an important role in it.
