Dr. Hillery and Mr. Leonard earlier highlighted the need for sharing good practice. All too often the committee speaks about and hears about situations that have gone wrong or people who are not being treated in the way any of us may expect or want. It is an important point that there are times when the patient gets the best possible care or there is a change, as we heard about when we were speaking about young Jack, which led to him having a far better quality of life. We need to highlight these. We also need to remind ourselves that this happens.
