Tusla, the Child and Family Agency's Midlands Child Assessment Team (MICAT) provides a service for children to disclose child sexual abuse. The service comprises of a multidisciplinary team of Social Work, Social Care, Public Health Nursing and Psychology, and is jointly provided by both Tusla and Health Service Executive (HSE).
I have requested Tusla to respond directly to the Deputy in relation to operational matters regarding the position of the psychologist on the MICAT.
I understand the Department of Health will also provide information to the Deputy as the HSE is involved in the provision of this service.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 42A
