Power of Attorney - who gets told, and what?

My partner and 2 siblings recently were appointed Attorneys of their mother's Financial and Health. Mother is now diagnosed as having Dementia. One sibling has mum's bank statements and has noticed a very recent payment (after the LPA was granted) to the office of public guardian which looks like she has changed one of her powers of attorney.
my question is - if she has changed the named attorneys would anyone be informed they are no longer attorneys?

OPG would send a letter to who had been removed to advise them that they had ceased to be a POA as well as a letter to the donor

there was a thread on here not so long ago about similar situation1 -
I'm not sure that it is possible to change an attorney, I think that the original LPA will have to be cancelled and the whole LPA re-done. How much was the payment for?

You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time0 -
Yes as I thought, you can't just "add" another attorney to an existing LPA
