The CRC does outstanding work. The abiding thing to remember is that the work done by the staff and the service users continues. Outstanding work was done by Hamilton Goulding's mother to establish the CRC. Clearly, on reflection, there was serious remiss in terms of the use of the funding collected in order to be used for front-line services. That funding was used, in my view, for a use that it was not intended for when people throughout the country donated their money. One must practice what one's preaches. For the ordinary people who work in the CRC that does not appear to have been the case. It is very important, in future, that we do not have organisations with separate fund-raising arms. We must have transparancy.
