Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 July 2013
46. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the progress to date on implementing the recommendations in the report on the Roscommon child care case; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [32347/13]
View answerAs I indicated in replies to previous parliamentary questions by the Deputy on this matter, an audit undertaken by the HSE's Quality and Patient Safety Audit (QPSA) found that a number of the recommendations of the Roscommon Child Care Case report have been implemented. Work is ongoing to progress the remaining recommendations in the context of the wider ongoing reform process in Children and Family Services in the HSE. This reform process includes a number of important strands including work force development, service enhancement and models of care in children and family services. A number of key reforms highlighted in the audit relating to enhanced sexual abuse services, caseload management, core assessment framework, quality assurance and resource allocation also feature as part of the reform programme and are at various stages of planning and roll out.
