RNZ revealed this morning that a child spent more than nine weeks in a Waikato hospital because the agency failed to find them 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.
RNZ has reviewed the documents as they raise questions of public interest importance.
Davis said he was concerned about the claims regarding the care of this child. I have asked Oranga Tamariki for a briefing on the situation and I expect all issues raised to be investigated thoroughly, he said.
Oranga Tamariki confirmed the agency received a complaint from DHB staff.

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 Kelvin Davis is calling for an investigation into the case and advocates say it is disturbing and outrageous - and validates calls to scrap the ministry as a whole.
Since RNZ broke the story, Oranga Tamariki - which initially would not provide comment on the case - sent a statement this afternoon apologising and admitting it did not do the best for the child.
Waitangi Tribunal claimants who have been through the state care system say they have been shut out of Oranga Tamariki reform talks, but their concerns are being labelled a distraction by the ministerial advisory group chair.

The Waitangi Tribunal recommended earlier this year that an independent Māori authority be set up to prevent tamariki Māori going into state care, but the idea has been parked while a Ministerial Advisory Board, chaired by Matthew Tūkaki, conducts its own investigation into Oranga Tamariki.
