The lack of implementation in many areas must be frustrating for the inspectorate. A number of questions arise from the witnesses' contributions. The 2012 report recommended multi-agency specialist child centres to provide medical examinations, victim interviewing and therapeutic services. However, no such centres are in place. The witnesses pointed out that there are very good models which we could replicate if we cared to look at them. It is six years since 2012. Given the level of public concern in this area, what in God's name is wrong that after six years no centres have been provided? Why is that?
