Senator Feeney mentioned the importance of maintaining links with natural parents. It is an important point that one of the great advantages of fostering is that it is an open arrangement without a rigid closure of identification between the child and the natural parent. The Senator mentioned the North Western Health Board. As I said, compared to other boards, in the North Western Health Board area a very high proportion of children are in foster care compared with residential care, and it is important that we work on this in other health board areas. The Senator also referred to siblings. The standards emphasise and highlight the importance of keeping them together.
