Mr. Robert Watt:

I am delighted the Chairman acknowledges there are positives in the system, because that is the reality of what is happening. I was not disagreeing for one moment in respect of the cases that have been set out in the reports or the different examples that have been put forward today. They absolutely are not acceptable, they must be and will be addressed, and we will keep on learning from such mistakes. The point I was making, which is valid and on which everyone must reflect, is how this debate takes place about the system and about how legitimate reports criticising mistakes are contextualised in the overall scheme of what the system is delivering day after day for people. That is the point I was making. I was not for a moment suggesting this is not a valid exercise, that the report is not valid or that we need not learn from it or on what is the role of the committee, but we must contextualise with regard to what the system is delivering and its achievements, while of course at the same time identifying such unacceptable practices and ensuring they are not repeated in the future.
