Grace case whistleblower may get public hearing

The Public Accounts Committee may hold a public hearing with the whistleblower in the 'Grace' case.

The committee is to seek legal advice on whether any hearing would have to be held in private should they decide to proceed. A Commission of Investigation is also underway into the case of Grace, a woman with profound intellectual disabilities, who was left in a foster home for 20 years despite abuse and neglect.
