Report of the Inspector of Mental Hospitals, 2001: Statements.
I hope the inspector's reports in the future will be just a little more hard edged than this one. People tend to use slightly emollient language in dealing with these matters, they tend to take into consideration the feelings of those with whom they are dealing. There has been a move away from the inspectorial mode to one in which we are all professionals in this together, but this can go too far. I would like to see a little more of a crusading spirit in the inspector's reports. Where the inspector finds things going wrong, they should say this plainly.
