Obviously, having looked at the programme last night, it is clear that there have been cases in which this was not carried out correctly. That is obvious to anyone who watched the programme. I want to formally investigate it. It is a jump to suggest that no hospital group chief executive, hospital manager or clinical director is managing this. We need to identify where it is not happening and why not and we need to ensure it does not happen again. The point about data is important. It is part of the reason I want to talk about robust monitoring being provided. We need to have exact data on what is actually happening. I do not believe we have had adequate data to date.
