Lindsay Tribunal Report: Motion.
They have also suggested the report missed the human element. This is something we must certainly guard against. For example, the report in its conclusions, which are at least concise and clear, states that there should be relative speed in making information known to patients about possible infection, but they say very little about the manner in which this information should be passed on to the patients. The report is full of incidents in which patients were made aware of things in a most unfeeling way, as has been stated already in the corridors of hospitals. Yet, the report does not seem to address this subject in the way it ought.
