Vol. 342 No. 9

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Children in Residential Care.

10.

asked the Minister for Health the number of legitimate children at present in care who have been in residential care for five years or more.

The statistical information relating to children in the care of health boards available in my Department enables me only to state approximately the number of "legitimate" children in residential care for more than five years. The approximate figure is 650.
