The reason I raised my earlier question is that care services have been privatised in other countries. Care services could also be provided by a voluntary organisation or private company here and the idea of using private companies to provide such services has been discussed. I welcome clarification that children are not being cared for by organisations other than the HSE. If, however, this type of care service was outsourced to another agency, these provisions would clearly apply.
