I understand, following contact made by my Department with the Deputy's office, that the intention of the Deputy's question is to refer to the provision of children's residential care under the remit of Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, since its establishment. Matters relating to residential care provided by the Health Service Executive is a matter for my colleague the Minister for Health.

I have requested that Tusla respond directly to the Deputy in relation to children's residential care services under its remit.
