However, notwithstanding that, the reality in which the children of this country and their parents and those who care about children are interested is that we have a service that is appropriate to the needs of children. I believe the ISPCC, the new Child and Family Agency, Tusla, and my Department will get the best result by co-operating, examining how the service is delivered, drawing up a business plan, and a service level agreement if necessary, in order that we can all be sure that the money we spend gets the result we require. Evidence-based policy is the only way to ensure the best outcome for children.
