I thank the delegates for attending and congratulate them on their recommendations. I am frustrated by the lack of implementation. If I feel frustrated, I cannot imagine what it must be like for the delegates.

Mr. Toland made a point about the problems encountered. Some of the recommendations from a few years ago, perhaps 2009, were not implemented. If they had been, we would not have the problems that arise today. Could we have an example of what they might be?

Ms Fisher referred in response to a question to the culture of blame. I would like to hear a little more about this.

If a body such as the inspectorate that really understood the recommendations, particularly regarding sexual and domestic violence and all of the points the delegation mentioned, were brought into the police force to oversee implementation, how long would it take to change the culture of the force and really make a difference? I suppose my question is the same as that of Deputy Jack Chambers.
