Not true in situ right up until November 2008. Culpable, derelicted her duties as the named child protection doctor.

Maybe now people will stop blaming social workers and Sharon Shoesmith and begin to see the bigger picture. Maybe now the whole story will be told and the people who have endured months of attack can begin to hold their heads high. Maybe now the situation will improve and maybe just maybe the tragedy of Peter's life will not be repeated.
