We have been very vocal in saying that we want emergency provision that is registered and regulated. We want to use agencies that are registered and regulated. In the absence of that and of a multiagency response in respect of these young people, what I and the executive are taking so seriously is the level of oversight we have put in place regarding these arrangements in terms of rostering, qualifications and vetting.
