Hello.
On the news, there’s the ecoli outbreak in Wales, and a boy of 5 has just died from it.
Story here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/4307442.stm
I’m not going to start moaning about the state of school dinners, because there’s always been an option to take sandwhiches, something which the parents of a lot of kids seem to forget, even though it’s healthier & cheaper. But like I said, I’m not going to start moaning about that…
What I am going to moan about is the governments response to a child dying.
A child dies because of contaminated food given to schools across Wales.
The response?
“…an assembly committee would begin to look into the terms of reference for a “no holds barred” inquiry on the E.coli outbreak.”
I may misunderstand, but this seems to be a meeting to discuss details of an inquiry. Should this not have started as soon as the outbreak was reported?
Can you imagine, if YOUR child dies and you ask what’s going to be done to prevent it happening to someone else, and you’re told “well, we’re going to have a meeing to discuss what our Committee Will be discussing when they are ready to form an inquiry, the results of which will be compiled by a seperate Results Committee, and put forward to a Select Committee to bring the changes in place by 2047”
Bored at work, annoyed at those who govern us.
And it’s only Tuesday.
