Mr. Paul Reid:

We have been very clear, and I have been very clear, on the record. I am very happy to say it once again: what happened in relation to Dr. Maskey's report and what it highlighted is that it was completely wrong. We have quite justifiably apologised for it. It was a complete failure in terms of governance, clinical oversight, general administration, supports and risk management. They are very clearly highlighted in the 35 actions set out in the report.
