I have written to the HSE's Assistant National Director for Children and Families requesting that the child's case be examined under the terms of the HIQA Guidance for the HSE For the Review of Serious Incidents Including Deaths of Children in Care. An Garda Siochana has carried out extensive searches since the child's disappearance and efforts to locate the boy are continuing. I will make contact with the Garda Commissioner to ask that the child's family is kept abreast of any developments with the case and are supported during this difficult time.
