The last point I will hone in on is the child protection bar. Is it too high? Is there a clear understanding between the HSE and Tusla as to when one passes from one to the other seamlessly so that if there is a concern, Tusla is in a position to intervene straightaway, the goal posts do not keep moving and there is a clear understanding with the HSE that when it needs to make an open disclosure or involve Tusla regarding a child with disabilities, it falls under the remit? There were obviously different positions, procedures and best practices in different facilities but that is where it might have fallen down. Do we have a clear common denominator of practice and governance from one unit to another?
