To clarify, individual complaints can give rise to findings or conclusions by GSOC that there have been systemic issues of neglect of supervision or poor supervision and that can apply at more junior ranks as well as at senior level. Currently, given the questioning we have had over the morning, does GSOC have a problem in dealing with those systemic issues because of the existence of a separate entity in the Inspectorate? When it was established, the Inspectorate was intended to look at efficiency, effectiveness and best practice in policing and therefore it takes on some of the remit that could be more appropriately be taken on by GSOC. That was a question many people had asked.
