There was a tragic case involving a 14 year old boy who was in residential care run by the Northern Area Health Board for three years because no place could be found for him. He was housed with five other boys ranging in age from six to ten years. They have been at the residential centre for between five months and three and a half years and have all been affected by a shortage of foster care places. Will the Minister of State indicate if there has been any change in harrowing statistics of this kind?
