I thank the Deputy for raising that issue. The data on the particular organisation the Deputy spoke about was that it had a number of houses that were not running at capacity. That was relayed to my Department and the Department of public expenditure and funding was secured to ensure it could go full tilt. It is now able to provide children's services seven nights a week, 52 weeks of the year. Some of its service houses were not in operation seven days a week. Funding was secured and it has been given to the new interim CEO of Ability West, who is actioning that across both children's and adult services.
