With regard to the role of the witness and his Department, has an analysis been carried out of public service data structures to ensure they are models of best practice for the future? I do not wish to labour the point about the 1 million breath tests but I still do not understand how somebody somewhere or many people all over the place were putting these non-existent records into these systems, effectively making them up as we are told. They did not just arrive by accident. They got into the system in some way and there must be a record of how they got there. If there is none, how could there not be?
