I welcome that a scoping exercise has been established. I reiterate the very clear and just demand that a full public inquiry be delivered and secured to allow the full truth to emerge. I wish to be very clear because the Minister said that people may or may not be satisfied at the end of the process. To ensure that as many people as possible are satisfied, we need to understand what it is they are looking for. We need to know at the end of this process precisely the details of the crimes that Michael Shine committed but we also need to know who knew, at what stage they knew and how in God's name this was allowed to continue for so long and that so many young lives were destroyed, and so many lives and innocence were taken away from people. It is very simple. That is what we need at the end of this process. I want to put on the record again my huge commendation and admiration for Dignity4Patients, and each and every one of those victims and survivors who told their stories and who often were not believed and ignored or dismissed. It was largely because they were young men, and they were dismissed out of hand. They persevered and deserve any credit that is going for the progress that has been made to date.
