Mr. Pat Smyth:
I exist as the current interim CEO but our daily mantra is on doing what we need to do to ensure that children who need our services today get them and are protected. That is a big thing throughout the organisation. It is about ensuring that where children are at risk, regardless of the nature of the placement, people take that very seriously. We have learned a great deal from those legacy cases which are horrific for anyone to read or deal with.
