My allocation of an additional €40.6 million in 2018 will allow Tusla to increase its staffing levels significantly to respond to expected increases in referrals following the introduction of mandatory reporting on 11 December 2017.
The breakdown of the additional staff, and the precise number of additional social workers to be recruited, is now being finalised by Tusla in the context of its 2018 Business Plan and the Performance Statement which I issued recently.

Child and Family Agency Services
Ceisteanna (660)
Anne Rabbitte
Ceist:660. Deputy Anne Rabbitte asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the average time that children in each county are waiting to be allocated a social worker in cases, including high-priority cases of child protection and children in care. [54074/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraFreagraí scríofa
I can inform the Deputy that there were 26,201 open cases nationally at the end of September, which includes children in care. An open case is one which is assessed as needing a dedicated (allocated) social work service. There were 5,284 unallocated cases, of which 966 were high priority cases, 3,309 were medium priority, and 1,009 were low priority. Cases awaiting allocation include new referrals, cases already in progress, and children in care.
I am informed by Tusla that a case awaiting allocation may be listed as 'active' on a 'duty' system. This means that there are actions being undertaken by a dedicated duty team, or rotating social workers on a duty roster to progress the protection and welfare of the child.
Examples of actions being undertaken include telephone calls relating to the concern, visits to see the child, completing initial assessments and, where a child is in care, completing child in care reviews or plans. There are 28% of unallocated cases categorised as 'active on duty'.
Tusla has provided the information in Table 1 below on the number of cases awaiting allocation to a social worker in each administrative area. Tusla has informed me that the average length of time cases are waiting is not collated nationally but rather by the number of cases waiting in time bands. Information on waiting times is provided in bands of less than 3 months, and greater than 3 months. In Table 2 the number of cases waiting less than 3 months and over 3 months for each priority level i.e., high, medium and low is given.
Addressing the number of children who are awaiting the allocation of a social worker is a priority for me. The Deputy should note that all urgent and emergency cases notified to Tusla are dealt with immediately. Urgent and emergency cases could involve cases of abandonment, allegations of physical or sexual abuse, parental ill-health leading to the need for an immediate placement, or threat to the safety or life of a child by a third party. I have secured funds in Budget 2018 which will allow Tusla to carry out the third year of a 3 year plan to provide for the allocation of a dedicated social worker to all children who need one.
My Department will continue to closely monitor progress in this regard, and I will continue to engage directly with the Tusla Board and Senior Management Team to review progress.

Early Childhood Care and Education Funding

Anne Rabbitte
Ceist:663. Deputy Anne Rabbitte asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the estimated cost of increasing the number of weeks provided under ECCE by 1 to 8 weeks, respectively. [54077/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraFreagraí scríofa
The estimated cost of extending the ECCE programme, as specified by the Deputy, is contained in the table. These figures are based on current rates for the ECCE 2017/2018 programme year. It should be noted that this question only addresses the financial aspect of such increases. Any such changes would require revision of rules around eligibility and enrolment dates and would need to look at issues of capacity with regard to physical space, staffing capacities and other associated matters.
The actual cost of this proposal would be subject to a number of factors including actual levels of participation, and the number of children subvented at the 'higher capitation' rate- costs increase as the number of higher qualified staff increase.

I will advise the Deputy directly should any change to this information result from the review.
In addition to the information set out below, the Deputy may wish to note that in 2006 a contract to carry out the first phase the National Longitudinal Study of Children in Ireland was awarded by the Department of Health and Children (through the then Office of the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs) to a consortium comprising the ESRI and TCD. Since then, the study has adopted the working title of 'Growing Up in Ireland'. Following a further public procurement competition a contract was again awarded to the ESRI/TCD consortium to carry out the second phase of the study over the period 2015-2019. As part of the overall contract, the consortium is required to prepare and publish reports from time to time. The Department of Children and Youth Affairs meets the costs of printing these reports. Since the establishment of this Department in 2011 the total cost of printing these reports has been €31,967.14.
