在国家照料方面,青少年成为无毒品者,但人员短缺阻碍了设施的充分利用。 Teenager becomes drug-free in State care, but staffing shortages hinder full use of facilities.

据高等法院称,每天最多吸食四袋海洛因的青少年在安全的国家护理单位生活后,现在已经没有毒品了。 A teenager who was using up to four bags of heroin daily is now drug-free after being in a secure State care unit, according to the High Court. 男孩的进展突出表明了这些单位的有效性,这些单位是为11-17岁弱势儿童设计的。 The boy's progress highlights the effectiveness of these units, which are designed for vulnerable children aged 11-17. 然而,儿童和家庭机构Tusla的人员配置危机阻碍了充分利用26个空位,法官称这些空位“不可接受”。 However, a staffing crisis at Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, is preventing the full use of the 26 available places, which the judge termed "unacceptable."
