Hopefully, there will be learnings. I would make the final observation that often we put public servants, especially in middle management, in a difficult position if processes are not in place to protect people - the service users as much as those who oversee the service. Senior management have to take responsibility for that. Someone recently described the process as a train crash. I will not mention any names but that is exactly what it was. It was a train crash and the people at the top have to take responsibility for that. I hope the learnings Mr. McCallion is talking about will be implemented quickly.
