Closing a road can honestly take up to 24 hours in some instances. I once finished a night shift, came back in and the scene didn’t close until the end of the second night shift. Forensic collision investigation is complex and detailed. We don’t rush murder scenes, so why would we rush at the scene of a death by dangerous driving?
It’s also the question, why aren’t there enough Traffic Officers to facilitate things away from the scene?
Why was that funding devolved to the Highways Agency?
The Police are primarily there to investigate in the interests of justice.
Their secondary role is to facilitate safe movement of traffic away from the scene, primacy lying with the highways agency.
The public don’t even realise most police officers these days are not fast road trained and can’t be deployed to dual carriageways or motorways, hence the lack of traffic officers who are all fast road trained as is their role, is such an issue.
The answer? It all comes back to budget cuts. All of it. And it’s shameful.
An NHS trust has launched an investigation after the medical details of a child seriously injured in a crocodile enclosure were accessed by as many as 40 members of staff

This headline from @Independent
clearly blames the mother for this tragedy. In fact, the father was in charge of the toddler at the time.

“I’m often asked if I regret taking this stance, giving up years of my life, having to raise and spend millions of dollars in legal fees, called a bigot… wouldn’t it have been easier to pay him $20,000, let him into the app & just accept that the word woman has evolved? No.”
Dozens of NHS hospital staff accessed the medical records of a three-year-old boy who was allegedly thrown into a crocodile pit at a zoo.

Really?
The busiest day ever for @Ldn_Ambulance - we have MRI and other machines overheating, inpatient wards at over 30C, acute kidney injury, severe dehydration and excess mortality
Crumbling infrastructure overheating without AC or climate control
…but the staff are the problem…

£122m plus interest was awarded to the government after the firm breached its contract.
The public deserves every penny back.

Today @OUHospitals ‘reminded’ staff not to access patient medical records without clinical justification (AKA unlawful access)…
Recently discovered OUH maternity consultants & midwives accessed my records…

And so we have another review which concludes that people weren't listened to, and where victims have had to fight hard to be heard and still wait for justice and accountability. This has happened repeatedly across many services and disasters, and it's very bad government.
1/ Since Clare and I shared our story about our daughter's care at the Countess of Chester, something we didn't expect has happened. Other families have started reaching out. Families who had their own hard experiences on that unit, and have carried questions for years with nowhere to take them.

The time has come for a public inquiry into the role of regulators & the policies pursued by @DHSCgovuk & @NHSEngland These issues have not been examined by any maternity inquiry, yet they sit at the heart of the concerns being raised

It's become very clear that there has been a massive failure of regulation in maternity. All six of the major reviews (including Leeds and Sussex, not yet launched) into maternity have come about because of parents campaigning, not the regulator identifying a problem.
That’s also why so few seniors gave evidence and continue to carry on influencing policy and being Big Dogs in the field. Their next trick will be to give leadership training behind closed doors where they say the review is nonsense (This is what happened to Kirkup’s report)
