In the context of Ms McGuinness's closing remarks about disciplinary action that may arise here and, generally, across the board in the health service, is the culture of people being allowed to remain in positions and not held to account at an end? Out of this, surely we will see people who are meant to be in charge being held to account here and in general. I do not want to pre-empt any inquiry. We are talking about restoring confidence, which we want to do in respect of this issue and this hospital. We acknowledge the tremendous work done by many wonderful staff. Surely there comes a point where we cannot allow the same people to be in charge after what has happened.
