My colleague spoke about heads 25 and 26 of the proposed Bill, which set out to silence the representative bodies and prevent them from making public comment. Surely one issue that is going to be really important for cultural change within the organisation is that if complaints are brought to the representative bodies and are not dealt with correctly, they should have the power as representative groups to bring that into the public domain and to ensure pressure will be brought on the Minister and Government of the day to address specific situations that are causing serving members huge problems. I accept Professor MacCraith stated he cannot speak to heads 25 and 26, but this does overlap with his area.
