Ms Kate Duggan:

The point at which we want to reach is that when the need for either an assessment or an intervention is an identified as part of a child's overall care plan, Tusla should fund that consistently in the same way across the service. When we were before the committee last time, we spoke about the development of our therapeutic services. We have just moved to a point whereby five of our six regional therapeutic co-ordinators will look at bringing consistently to how therapy provision and the assessment of need is undertaken in respect of young people in foster care. That should bring consistency and clarity to the process. If there is an issue, I ask the Deputy to bring it to our attention offline.
