Ms Kate Duggan:

No. Part of this relates to the aggressive recruitment drives we have made in the context of social work, social care and other positions. In addition, as Ms Murphy outlined, we have looked at the tasks that have to be done within the agency. Where those tasks are administrative, it is possible for us to employ administrators and try to rebalance that. From 2022 to 2023, we increased by approximately 94 or 96 the number of social care workers within the agency. There has been an increase in that regard but the fact remains that we would need approximately 200 more social workers to make sure we can do everything we want to do, such as to ensure every child is allocated to a social worker, reach full compliance levels and remove the communication issues and challenges that were referred to today.
