In the past month, the Department of Children and Youth Affairs has not received a specific report on Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, from the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA).
My Department is routinely provided with HIQA inspection reports on the services provided by Tusla. These reports are published by HIQA on its website. As of 29 May, 2017, 16 inspection reports have been published, three of which were published in May 2017. HIQA carries out inspections independently against the relevant standards for a number of services, including: children residential centres; special care units; private and statutory foster care services; and Tusla's child welfare and protection services.
