I have never found it so difficult to prepare for a session of any committee. I have been in the Oireachtas since 2011. The reason I found it so difficult is the full breadth of crises and scandals in CHI. I say to Ms Nugent that it is almost impossible in this session for us to give justice to the families who feel let down. We had the Boston review. We had the HIQA review into the use of non-medical grade springs. We still have the waiting list for children with spina bifida and scoliosis. We had an audit into hip dysplasia and the potentially hundreds of procedures that were carried out unnecessarily. We also have this unpublished report, which cites concerns with oncology, urology, orthopaedics and many different issues. What was happening in CHI is frightening, and families feel let down. It happened on the watch of the former CEO, Ms Hardiman, who now also has a clear role in the transition to the new children's hospital, and that worries people. It worries me and it also worries parents of children, some of whom are in the Public Gallery. I welcome them. I have never seen an opening statement that had the words apology and sorry in it so often, which is necessary, but it shows the gravity of the issues within CHI. I say to Ms Nugent that we have to put that sorry to the test.

I will start with Ms Killeen White. This unpublished report, of which we had what I described as an editorial or sanitised version published by CHI, has been referred to An Garda Síochána. Is it correct that some elements of it have been referred?
