I understand from the HSE that the Roscommon audit commenced in September, 2010, the Waterford audit commenced in February, 2011, and the Dublin audit commenced in May, 2011. All have end-April, 2012 as the completion date.

The HSE intends to publish a composite report of the findings of the audits. This report is not yet finalised but a final draft is with the Office of the National Director for Children and Family Services. I expect it to be submitted to me in September of this year.

The author of the report is Ms. Lynne Peyton, Consultant in Children's Services and Social Care.
