A HIQA inspection of Tusla foster care services in the Mid West in July found them to be non-compliant when it came to matching carers with children and young people.

Inspectors found that the Mid West"continued to experience difficulties" in matching children to foster carers best placed to meet their individual needs.

It said the service area's matching processes required further development to ensure children were consistently placed with foster carers who had sufficient capacity and expertise to care for them. Inspectors said shortfalls in the availability of foster carers had reached"crisis point" with relatively high numbers of foster carers continuing to exit the service.There were also"ongoing gaps" in the range, diversity and responsiveness of the area’s existing foster care panel.
