The internal report examining Oranga Tamariki's litany of failures which led to a 5-year-old being murdered is overdue.
The report follows an investigation by the Ombudsman which found Oranga Tamariki failed to do the bare minimum before Malachi Subecz was killed by a caregiver last year, despite whānau pleas for intervention, and multiple reports of concern to the agency.
On October 5, the agency's acting chief executive told Midday Report the report was due within a fortnight.
