The woman was shipped from Nazareth House in Belfast to Australia when she was four. Now in her 60s, she said she wanted to see her records because two of her children had died at a young age. She said the information was "extremely important" as she had other children and grandchildren. She told the inquiry sitting in Banbridge on Wednesday that she was born to a Catholic mother in Dungannon and said she found out in recent years that her father was "a Protestant landowner". Explaining that one of her daughters had died as a baby, and a son died suddenly aged 26, in 2005, she said: "I need to know my health history because of the fact I have lost two children and there is nothing physically or medically that we can find out here in Australia." She said her other children and grandchildren needed to be aware of the medical history of her maternal and paternal families in Northern Ireland. The inquiry also heard on Wednesday about the state's knowledge of the migrant scheme. Senior counsel to the inquiry, Christine Smith, presented details of a letter from the Department of Home Affairs in 1955. It was written after an inspector from the department visited Nazareth House in Belfast. The inspector was told that another Catholic Children's Home, Rubane House in Kircubbin, could not cope with the numbers being sent there from Belfast. The alternative being considered, the letter suggested, was to send children to Australia. The inspector wrote: "Rubane can't absorb all their output and this is how they're to be disposed of." The HIA inquiry is examining the extent of child abuse in religious and state-run institutions in Northern Ireland from 1922 to 1995. Last week, the inquiry heard that 131 children from Northern Ireland, some as young as five, were sent to Australia as child migrants. Their evidence is due to be heard either by video link or in written statements over the next few weeks.

They include a consultant nurse who played a "pivotal role", even after being diagnosed herself, when Aneurin Bevan health board became the first in Wales to see a spike in cases. A respiratory viruses expert and charity worker are also honoured. In sport, former Wales rugby coach Warren Gatland is appointed CBE and captain Alun Wyn Jones becomes an OBE. The Queen's Birthday Honours should have been announced in June, but were delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic. At the time, 59-year-old Liz Waters, from Crickhowell, Powys, was helping to provide personal protective equipment and working "tirelessly" to prevent the spread of coronavirus within the Aneurin Bevan health board area. Even after being diagnosed with the virus herself and having to self-isolate, she still helped co-ordinate efforts. "My head has been in the NHS big time since March, tackling Covid," she said. "It's a complete surprise and I'm absolutely delighted." Describing the period working from home as the toughest during her 41 years in the NHS, she said she was delighted healthcare workers were being recognised for their efforts. The health board's head of estates Neil Pearce, 53, from Newport, is also appointed MBE. He is described as "always available at the end of the phone, ready to mobilise immediately, if required" and being responsible for significant changes, such as the conversion of operating theatres, creating around 90 intensive care beds. In Corwen, around 100 hot meals have been delivered each week, with 260 people, mainly older and vulnerable, being supported by a charity. The chief officer of South Denbighshire Community Partnership Margaret Sutherland, 61, also becomes an MBE. She has helped set up a support phone line, a telephone befriending service, prescription collections and deliveries, shopping service and food deliveries for those living in food poverty. Catherine Moore, 49, is a world-leading expert on respiratory viruses, who is helping to build information on the characteristics of the virus and its spread. Dr Moore, who works for Public Health Wales and is based at Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales, recognised the significance of the new disease early in the pandemic. She worked with international collaborators and helped bring reliable laboratory testing to Wales within a month of its recognition as a new virus. Robin Ridley-Howe, 56, from Cardiff, is responsible for 10 microbiology laboratories across Wales. His advice forms a major part of what Public Health Wales prepares for Welsh Government on the approach to the current phase of the pandemic. Care home supplies The British Empire Medal has also been conferred on nine people for their part in the pandemic response. These include Julie Cook from Aberdare, who works at a supermarket and was recognised for services to the community during the pandemic. She helped ensure that a care home could get vital supplies of food. After they struggled getting delivery slots, she took their shopping list each week and got everything ready for care home staff to pay and collect. The 56-year-old, who has worked there for 21 years, said: "I can't believe it. "An elderly gentleman had said he wanted to write to Asda so say thank you for helping him, so when I heard I'd got an award I assumed it was something from Asda for that." New Zealander Warren Gatland, 57, stepped down after 12 years in charge of Wales following the 2019 World Cup in Japan. During his time in charge, Wales won four Six Nations titles including three Grand Slams, as well as reaching the World Cup semi-finals twice. "Rugby is a huge part of my life and has given me so much joy as a player, a father to a rugby-playing son and also as a coach," he said. "It has also given me so many incredible friendships and experiences too." Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones is appointed OBE and former captain Gareth Thomas becomes a CBE. In politics, David Hanson, the MP for Delyn between 1992 and 2019, has been given a knighthood for political service. Former BBC Wales broadcasters Mel Doel and Jayne James are both honoured for services to charity and the community. Ms James said: "It's an incredible honour, but I feel very humbled by the other recipients, especially those who have been dealing with Covid-19."

The Nationwide Association of Fostering Providers said the Welsh government consortium which buys their services is looking to renegotiate their contracts. Philip Sutton from the NAFP said he was concerned councils, through the consortium, were looking to cut costs. The Welsh government said it works with councils to improve foster care. The NAFP represents independent foster carers, who provide just under 40% of placements in Wales. Mr Sutton said he was worried children "would not thrive in the way we have expected them to" because of the cuts. "My main worry is that local authorities, through the consortium, are looking to reduce the cost of placements by reducing the additional services that agencies provide: things like education services and respite services," he said. "They are looking for a basic care provision." Mr Sutton said he was also concerned that the changes might see children move frequently between placements as foster carers struggled to cope. "One of the things we always look for in foster caring, which is proved to provide the best possible outcomes, is stability," he said. "You need some kind of help for carers with difficult placements to achieve that. "If foster carers are not able to access therapy or other services it can make the difference between a placement continuing or breaking down. "The worry is if we're reducing the availability of therapy and other provisions more placements will break down and it's been shown clearly that children who have multiple placements don't do well in life generally." 'Emotive issue' Among other changes Mr Sutton said are being proposed are plans to cut the mileage allowance that foster carers can claim for trips, such as hospital appointments. He described this as an "emotive" issue and something that some providers might find difficult to continue. The Welsh government said it is working with councils to improve the commissioning of both local authority and independent foster care. "Placement choice and stability are key to securing better outcomes of looked-after children in Wales," a spokesperson said. "Local authorities must secure a range of local and independent placements to meet the diverse needs of children in their area. "The Welsh government continues to work with local authorities in improving their strategic commissioning of placements."
