Children in long-term foster care

Summary

Shatter requested health-board figures for children in long-term foster care, including those there for five years or more; Desmond said the statistics would be circulated in the Official Report.

asked the Minister for Health the number of legitimate children in long-term foster care in each health board area; and the number of such children who have been in long-term foster care for five years or more.

Comment on this

As the reply to this question is of a statistical nature, I propose to circulate the figures in the Official Report.
