No, that is fair enough. I heard Ms Kelly's response at a previous committee meeting so I am aware. When the Dixon report was completed nearly a decade ago, it identified a cohort of children with spina bifida who had fallen through the cracks and were receiving suboptimal care. If we fast forward five years to when this review was done, CHI could not even tell the reviewer how many children were affected. Their care plans were never changed and this review found that those children were still receiving suboptimal care. We are talking about the families of 38 orphaned children in this instance. Were their parents notified?
