I refer to the minister’s announcement on 20 September that Ms Gwenn Murray had been contracted to examine the Department for Community Development’s handling of 42 cases of abuse of children in care over the previous 18 months. (1) Did Ms Murray provide her report to the minister by the end of October, as expected? (2) If yes, when will the minister make a copy of the report public, as promised? (3) If no, when does the minister expect to receive the report, and when will it be made public? Ms S.M. McHALE

(1)-(3) I thank the member for the question. No, I have not yet received the report. I had indicated that the report would in all probability be finalised by mid-November. Ms Murray is in the west this week, and I will be meeting with her. I anticipate that the report will be available by the end of November.
