I agree with Senator Feighan on the importance of focusing on the recruitment of foster carers. The working group's report on foster care and standards called for the development of recruitment strategies to ensure a speedy response to queries. In 2002 over 300 new foster carers were recruited through local initiatives, and I hope that, with the implementation of the standards in health boards, there will be far more of what the Senator was talking about in terms of advertising positively for fostering and encouraging it through local initiatives. These can also often take place with the Irish Foster Care Association, which, as many Senators pointed out, does a great deal of good work in this area.
