Mr. Liam Woods:

From a hospital's point of view. That is where I am working and many of the claims made are in the acute hospital space. There are processes in terms of risk assessment and training. There are many occasions on which evidence of the requirement for training is addressed through recommendations, whether in the context of an incident or a report or as part of the normal process between a clinical director and clinicians or other parties in a hospital. There is a process of learning. There is a piece that is conscious of the point the Deputy is making.
