As this question relates to a specific organisation that is funded by the HSE to deliver services, DCEDIY has reached out to the HSE to request; an update on financial management at Stewarts Care, how it is engaging with the organisation, and the concerns raised in the article from businessplus.ie. Once a response is received from the HSE we will issue a reply to the Deputy.
