Thanks so much for such a clearly and forcibly written piece on what is such a terrible national embarrassment that is good for no one. I just wonder how anyone starts to turn around such apparently deeply ingrained culture and practice?

I agree with almost all of this excellent piece, Colin. The ability of new Ministers to develop a strong relationship with their top officials and of those officials to give new leadership to the frontline workers will be key. A change in culture will happen through an evolving series of conversations, or not at all. And those conversations need to include advocates from the outside.
