I refer to the IT error, which initially involved one person, then 856 people, and finished up at nearly 3,000 people. A report was commissioned on this issue and was presented in July. A case called "Sharon's case" is specifically referred to in the report, and it is stated that the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, corresponded with Sharon on 6 June. On 9 July an official stated that the Minister was fully briefed, however, the Minister stated that he was not briefed until 10 July. That does not seem to add up. Who is not telling the truth here?
