Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2022 - Tusla-Child and Family Agency

9:30 am

Ms Kate Duggan:

There is a new CEO in the HSE and I am here in Tusla and, for the first time, we have jointly convened calls as a result of the two agencies not agreeing on a resource. We have jointly communicated that resourcing is not to be a factor in decision-making. I can see significant improvement in how things work at our level in the HSE and Tusla. We are both ambitious for that to filter down throughout the system.
