People walk out of the courts and say no amount of money would compensate them. There are lives that could have been very different. There will always be a cohort who suffer from the kind of damage in question but I am concerned about the legal approach taken to open disclosure when something happens and how it sits with the kind of advice that was given by the Attorney General. The approach is almost the opposite of the kind of open-disclosure culture one would require when there is an event, whereby that event would not be hidden or denied and would be dealt with at the time without delay. I do not see how the two sit side by side. Does Mr. Watt see the contradiction?
