I agree with Steve Baty

Breadcrumbs hurt no one and help more than a few. I have been spending a lot
of time recently with our users, talking menu systems, navigation,
breadcrumbs trails and expectations.

If Parent Org > Clinical Services > Library >  Current page
is a list of links
and you can easily go from Parent Org to Clinical Services in one step
and from Clinical Services to Library in one step  (and hopefully from
Library to Current page in one step)

Then you are doing your clients a disservice, but not letting them know the
full structure of your organisation and it's website. Most library users
don't care about your parent org, but a few will. Plus it will give your
site more authority, as it is seen part of bigger picture.

You will get same answer if you asked on IAI - Information Architects
Institutes mailing list. You have to join the IAI, but if your are
interested in this type of thing, it is well worth it.

ps I work in a library and we have a difficult parent org ;-)
