Other Questions: Foster Care Provision (19 Sep 2013)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: What was the duration of the recent recruitment campaign? I am assuming, from the way in which the Minister referred to it, that it has come to an end, but it is not clear when it was launched.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Work Programme, Disability Services and Related Issues: Discussion with HIQA (12 Sep 2013)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I do not propose to put words in Dr. Cooper’s mouth but for repeat offenders, despite everything that management might attempt to apply, can individuals within the hospital team responsible for what is nothing short of criminal neglect, be identified?
