Notes of Decisions

   Insufficient Records

   The information required by this regulation was unavailable for many of the children. This fact combined with the facility’s overpopulation and lack of supervision amounted to gross incompetence, negligence or misconduct. Winston v. Department of Public Welfare, 675 A.2d 372 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1996).
