The board of the National Children's Hospital has been accused of "poor governance and poor practice" for entirely redacting the minutes of a number of its meetings.

The latest tranche of minutes published does not cover the past three months and two of the six meetings between May and July have been completely withheld due to what the board say are "commercially sensitive reasons".
