They are two valid points. We are getting to the stage where we are getting thin on the ground for foster carers. We have to make sure we remain vigilant, checklists are followed and children are placed in only the best of care. I thank Dr. Keilthy, Dr. Muldoon and Ms Ward for their engagement on the easy and tough questions. They did not shy away. We appreciate all of their insights. They will help guide us in our work. I am sure we will have them back on many occasions over the coming years.
