I take the view that the independent review remit is sufficiently broad for HIW to do their job. They are genuinely an independent inspectorate, and the challenge is to ensure that they provide a review that does provide reassurance in looking at what happened. There’s also a challenge for all of us in understanding, not just what happened at the time, but where we are now as well. And some of this is about the assurance we provide for our system moving forward. Health Inspectorate Wales is the appropriate body to undertake this investigation. I know you made a number of comments about linking the conduct complained of during the employment and the subsequent murder. It’s worth reminding ourselves that the three issues complained of were referred to the police and it was the criminal justice system that investigated and decided not to pursue any further action. I think there are genuine questions for us to understand about what happened at the time and whether that will that be the same approach taken now.

On the point about the link between the three serious issues complained of during his time in employment and the murder, I think politicians of any shade should hesitate before seeking to draw a direct link between the employment and the murder. I think it is important to understand, following the review, whether there is any real evidence that the behaviour complained of had any part to play in the subsequent murder. I do understand why there are such high emotions around this by people directly affected and the families, both of the alleged victims, the three people who had raised complaints about Kris Wade during his conduct as an employee, as well as the family of Christine James. So, I take this seriously, and I do await the report from HIW and the review they’re undertaking and I don’t seek to limit their ability to talk to people in undertaking a proper and robust review of what’s happened. I’ve said I’ll keep Members updated. If there’s more for me or the Government to do, once that review is provided, then I’ll be completely transparent with Members about decisions that I take and further next steps if they’re required.
