00:00What the Care Quality Commission have uncovered is deeply distressing, most of
00:05all for the families of Grace, Barnaby and Ian, who in addition to having to
00:11deal with the unbearable and unimaginable grief they're going through,
00:15are doing so in the knowledge that this could have been prevented and should
00:19have been prevented. That there wasn't a single point of failure, but multiple and
00:23fundamental failures on the part of the NHS to manage Valdo Callichane's
00:28treatment in a way that not only kept him safe, but most importantly kept
00:33others safe. The hard truth here, which is I think hard for the whole country to
00:38hear, let alone me, is that had the NHS done its job, had there not been multiple
00:44fundamental failures, three innocent people might still be alive. And what the
00:50families of Grace and Barnaby and Ian are going through is grief in that
00:56knowledge, and that's why I totally understand why they've accused the NHS
01:01of having blood on its hands. I think it's a hard criticism to hear, but one
01:05the NHS has to take on the chin.
