My final point related to cases where Departments are dealing with a protected disclosure on a matter that is almost without question or doubt and are using taxpayers' money to drag it through the courts. Is there any way of intervening with Ministers to ensure that, within each of their Departments, any protected disclosures that are made are dealt with efficiently regardless of the outcome? The person who made the protected disclosure must not be left out of the process.
