I am sorry but it is not a question of following up on the individual case. I am not raising it as an individual representation to be followed up, although I would like it followed up. I am raising it because it highlights that it is possible, within CHO 4, for a child going through adolescence not to have been seen for that length of time. We also have the State Claims Agency in here from time to time. I have concerns not just about the well-being of the child and the pure frustration for the mother trying to provide care for the child but about the obvious failure of management by somebody in that child not having been seen and what the systemic response to that is.

I am also concerned about what the Comptroller and Auditor General's concerns may be in respect of liability to the State for that, notwithstanding all of the personal issues.
