HSE childcare centre should close, urges report

HEALTH inspectors have called for the closure of a centre for vulnerable children run by the Health Service Executive (HSE) following reports of serious violent assaults on both residents and staff.

At least 44 incidents of violence and aggression were recorded at the centre between March and May this year.

The Social Services Inspectorate (SSI) has published a damning report about the standards of care provided to children at the unnamed HSE-run centre in south Dublin.
