00:00I'll be honest and say I don't think you ever can do enough to get the right support in place
00:07for victims, to give them the confidence to come forward, because we know that still isn't there in the way
00:13that it should be, but I have already taken a decision to make sure there are rape and serious sexual
00:21offence teams in every police force by the end of next year.
00:24So it was going to be 2029. I've brought it forward and I kind of lean back on my work
00:30as Mayor of Greater Manchester in this regard. There is so much that needs to be done. We have to
00:36bring it forward and obviously today everybody will be thinking about the women who have the courage to come forward.
00:44Their bravery will, I believe, change the system more broadly and we will be relentless in making whatever improvements we
00:52can.
00:52But there's no complacency here. There's a lot more that needs to change.
