Ms Kate Duggan:

It is important to say that it is around recognising the waitlist for ongoing therapy. In terms of going through Barnahus and the assessment, some of these families were not living in close proximity to the west. We identified the need to increase therapeutic supports in a kind of hub model nearer to Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim and that they would work to the principles of Barnahus in terms of their therapeutic approach. That is where we are starting to see the gaps; it is that ongoing therapeutic need for the young person and his or her wider family.
