The assembly’s health committee is hearing evidence from those leading inquiries into the abuse of young people in Northern Ireland.
The inquiries were launched in September after it was revealed that police had identified a group of 22 young people – aged between 13 and 18 – that may have been abused.
Of the 22 cases under examination, 18 involved children in the care system.
They had been recorded as missing a total of 437 times.
