Hiqa report finds Tusla services in three counties failed to report some suspected abuse cases to gardaí

Tusla's child protection and welfare services in the Carlow, Kilkenny and South Tipperary area failed to notify gardaí about every allegation of suspected abuse and neglect it received.

This is one of a number of criticisms made in a report by the Health Information and Quality Authority following an “announced” inspection in January.
