My officials have requested the information from Tusla and I will forward the reply to the Deputy once I have been furnished with it.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
Tusla has since informed me that, currently there are various grades fulfilling aftercare worker roles in Tusla nationally.
In the context of standardising aftercare services there is a process ongoing with IMPACT and discussions are at an advanced stage. Once this process is completed it will be possible for Tusla to provide a full year's costing for employing an aftercare worker.
