Oranga Tamariki has apologised for keeping a child in hospital care for nine weeks because they could not find a suitable placement.
In documents posted online by the cyber-attackers who targeted the DHB, staff said the youngster did not require admission to hospital for any medical reason and was not unwell.
The Minister for Children is calling for an investigation into the case and advocates say it is disturbing and outrageous.
