Ms Lucy Nugent:

The letters were to advise the families of the audit. One of the early recommendations from the audit was that children should be followed up to skeletal maturity, which is when their bones fuse. The auditor found that this was not a consistent practice. It is a newer international practice guideline so we felt it appropriate not to wait until we got the final report but to advise the parents of that, and that we would be following up with them. The follow-up with those children to skeletal maturity is in process.
