Minutes:
The Committee discussed an update on the petition and
considered that there are few options currently open to it given that the Welsh
Government’s position on a public inquiry remains unchanged. Members agreed to
keep a watching brief on the issue and to return to the petition in the new
year.

Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition for the first time and agreed to write back to the Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services to share the correspondence received by the Committee and ask her to provide a further response. The Committee also highlighted the indications received that the Independent Inquiry in to Child Sexual Abuse will not be considering abuse which took place on Caldey Island specifically, and asked for further consideration to be given to the issue of a public inquiry in light of this.
