Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. T. O'Malley)

Interim service arrangements including the ongoing maintenance of existing transport services, have been put in place for a number of children attending the St. Vincent's Centre pending the completion of the assessment process recommended by the facilitator in his recent report. These will be kept under review as that process is progressed.
