Image: Sasko Lazarov/Photocall Ireland THE HEALTH INFORMATION and Quality Authority has published a report of 56 inspections of children’s services in 2021, which found that significant improvements should be made to the State’s children’s services.

HIQA reported that a small number of children experienced delays coming into care due to the lack of availability of suitable placements. However, where children had an allocated social worker who met them consistently, they “received a good quality service”. “One persistent finding from our inspections was the continued challenge that Tusla experienced in adequately resourcing its services and the impact that this had on children,” Boyle said.
