As previously stated, Sir Frank Atherton has said that it would not be appropriate to hold individuals responsible. We hold the Southern Trust responsible. We hold the PHA responsible. We will, going forward, bring controls and quality assurance to the HPV service being offered by the Belfast Trust.
