I do not mean to detract from the excellence of the work that is done at the clinic or, on a personal level, from the considerable contribution of Mr. Goulding's family when I say that one of the difficulties the public may have had with the operation of the clinic was the sense that, in some ways, it was almost regarded as a personal fiefdom by some people. I am sure Mr. Goulding, who would not have been unique in showing an interest in who got to where, etc., would not share that view. The culture I am talking about is very negative in any organisation.
