We are talking about people here. We are talking about 22 survivors of institutional abuse. My question to Ms Downes calls for a "Yes" or "No" answer. Did Caranua flag up with the Department that 22 people were going to be thrown to one side and that Caranua was not giving them money? It was money they were entitled to. The body set up with a duty of care to those survivors took the view that the Department need not know. Caranua should have made it known. The body has a responsibility to make it known to the Department that those 22 people were getting zilch. I am looking for a "Yes" or "No" answer. Ms Downes has said Caranua did not. Is the answer "Yes" or "No"?
