If we do not have public confidence in the system, it will not work. Some years ago, I was a member of a committee in Brussels when there was some animation around the unauthorised retention of human tissue. It caused quite a stir. Returning to public confidence in the system, we must be absolutely certain that these things do not happen because then the system will not work, public confidence will erode and it will break down.

A Bill on human tissue retention, the Title of which I cannot recall, was going through the Houses although it has not yet passed. I think it related to maternity hospitals. That is apropos of nothing other than the issue of public confidence.
