I think there is an argument that our justice system must be fit for purpose, and any society that does not have a fit justice system clearly is failing. That must be our priority, and it's why this report was commissioned and why its conclusions are so important.

We need to look in particular into the operation of our existing Welsh tribunal system, the various Welsh ombudsmen and our coroners' courts, which are all funded by the Welsh or local government, and which must operate independently of Government. Family justice, youth justice and probation services, for example, are all areas that have a direct synergistic relationship with devolved policy. One cannot work without the other and we need to resolve this conundrum. As the report says,

'The people of Wales...need and deserve a better system. Justice is not an island and should be truly integrated into policies for a just, fair and prosperous Wales.'

That must be our objective and that is what the committee will focus on.
