1:42
that
1:43
the heard doctor degree of say
1:45
that she felt don't evidence that the to take
1:47
was unsafe it was unbelievable
1:50
the evidence is overwhelming but has there for years
1:53
first of all the eternal review dr
1:55
david failed was governor of the tavistock
1:58
soda lose that use that he resides
1:59
the to have a good deed because you actions taken
2:02
that the cqc the care quality
2:04
commission which commission about it overseas it
2:07
overseas services
2:08
this year to the top stopped a two
2:10
thousand twenty was about the service
2:12
started to be inadequate that
2:14
of course the lucas support important
2:16
thing though is that his way through media are just
2:18
so far that hours of has been correct
2:21
it is just about decentralized the service
2:23
it sucked have you read the report it's about
2:25
the safety of the service or particularly
2:28
the lack of evidence for safety of
2:30
these blocker drums of the be given this
2:32
how to evidence of safety or benefits so
2:35
benefits was shocked to hear that talk to the green is
2:38
the way to continue so the irish
2:40
showed it to this is a face it was evident
2:42
squad it's it's it's their heads as he dead
2:44
that that was do so a to still looking
2:46
back on how to talk to any greens who is
2:48
the national capital director for instigated care
2:51
with the haters seats as he is said
2:53
she said it has not been deemed safe if
2:55
it was deemed safe are not safe
2:57
is would have been closed immediately
3:00
ah as he made the point of the tavistock
3:02
will keep open for another year or so
3:04
until the reasons views developed and you case
3:06
as an increased number of people with skills to deliver
3:09
the day care to those children who are so
3:11
badly need see she also
3:13
said that they did take on
3:15
board was at
3:17
the claims made by the likes of yourself
3:19
and and she says we satisfy
3:21
their cells the evidence wasn't there to support
3:24
her we were hearing and we had no
3:26
complaints from any patient or service
3:28
user about this
3:30
when i was surprised to hear her say
3:32
that they took a boat was he said because
3:34
we have been numerous representations
3:37
which adopted answers were to as far
3:39
as said he the with orders for the birth children out
3:41
lady the problems that this was never addressed
3:44
or discussed with us further
3:46
when we did beat cobblers the answer
3:48
three raised for a visit for the bit it's so
3:51
the idea that a particular board concerns
3:53
or photo evidence
3:55
this is shocking that she's
3:57
in the haters he say no complaints have
3:59
been missing the family patients the hate to see
4:01
our an outside tavistock st
4:03
as well no no complaints received money based
4:06
do you do you disagree with
4:08
us
4:09
i learned a position to the
4:11
order complaints from patients or
4:14
i would i could discuss it a little patience
4:16
as coarseness know
4:18
put put their argument is to have been
4:20
any complaint is there is no is if there isn't any
4:23
complaints is there a problem i suppose is the question
4:25
were only do is that quid the complaints
4:27
arise it usually takes a good of of years
4:29
for example of the case of care about
4:32
a decade
4:33
for the problems caused
4:35
by this approach the birds
4:38
so if there are going to be problems
4:41
we will see the vs because he chills are still
4:43
quite your it's too early for would realize
4:46
that the was ever be able to have families have
4:48
health problems that
4:49
to be help you creepers eat
4:51
or i saw you causes in the sunday
4:53
and have had the same the to hate as he is ideologically
4:56
committed to home on base a care
4:58
for children which is wrong and unsafe
5:00
given growing concerns about puberty blockers
5:03
where is the evidence that the haters he
5:05
is so ideologically committed
5:07
well be
5:09
you could have critics are be closed out
5:11
across europe in ,
5:14
is sweet is it fizzled though the uk
5:17
uk we have brought the seas had should have pages
5:19
eat up there is a h dash consensus that
5:21
this expendable country put his have selected
5:24
but they appear to be completely computers
5:27
are really there you're very was
5:29
it suits by activist groups that they
5:31
are very close
5:32
okay what would you like to see out you're calling
5:34
for an independent investigation
5:36
i think so i treated as it stays the
5:39
people who pay to see other able to
5:41
that's to get the road the stakes are
5:43
likely got the department of health should
5:45
investigate what is happening first
5:48
as yesterday quite as widows that they will be
5:50
bothering this situation closely
5:52
these cases closely i would require up
5:54
about it or the process of past ten years
5:57
i'm sure they would say they have been modernism
6:00
i think they said that every a patient
6:02
who had been referred would have been assessed
6:04
by psychiatrists in on it
6:07
well i can't confirmed
6:09
that i wouldn't have it's they should about all those
6:12
patients but turkey the ones that we have seen
6:14
have had very little athletic assessments
6:16
these are people who graduated the out of service as
6:19
the of it is very clear to us that
6:21
the
6:22
this with dot on the other time started reapers
6:24
were paltry okay longer term
6:26
to finally would you like to see a service
6:28
established here as to
6:31
add to to to deal with these terms with
6:33
with with children certainly so we duty to
6:35
provide services he showed of but it
6:37
should be in line with the regular basis
6:39
of the hillary cast reports at a deed
6:42
we have made a proposal to the he to see
6:44
that we could work with about this we suggested
6:46
that result both to dash agenda service
6:49
could start extended out or care for
6:51
younger teens as of the evidence becomes
6:53
available to treat your
6:55
the team however for
6:57
young children preapproved who says it should
6:59
not be specialist medical service or
7:01
this be given support israel to beauty
7:04
services are particularly the
7:06
other cobalt problems is that health issues
7:08
etc should be given
7:10
okay okay i think to be hurt
7:12
issue savant in the rain a yes he
7:15
did say that those services are available
7:17
to the very very briefly and finally are
7:19
you surprised that there's been no political reaction
7:22
to m is the reports
7:24
in the sunday independent your your comments
7:26
the tavistock reporters been tavistock deafening
7:29
silence from all parties across
7:31
the dog does that surprises
7:33
it doesn't surprise me this issue
7:35
has become toxic politically
7:37
because of a lot of activism
7:39
and i think many people are afraid to speak
7:42
girls of that has
7:44
sort visitations
7:47
