Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

We can do that. I should also mention that a wider workforce modelling exercise is under way, led by the Department of Health, across the various therapy professions, which we are very much a part of. We expect that recommendations will be coming out of that exercise in respect of social work supply. However, we do not want to await the recommendations. We see an immediate need for an increase in supply to meet Tusla's needs.
