Additional funding of €9 million has been allocated to the HSE in 2011 to support the continuing implementation of the Government's action plan published in response to the Ryan report. This includes provision for the recruitment of an additional 60 social workers in 2011. In addition, there will be a continuing exemption in 2011 from the recruitment moratorium to allow for the filling of social work vacancies.
