572 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of social workers allocated to separated children seeking asylum; the ratio of social workers to separated children; and the ratio of social workers to Irish children in care. [30859/08]
View answerThe Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
