these allegations to lead many institutions, particularly the bbc, with serious questions to answer. i think above all the question, how did he get away with this for so long? the most important thing is the police investigation is properly resourced and this allowed to continue. i don't rule out further steps but we do not have independent investigations by the bbc, independent investigations into the nhs, and today i can confirm the drug of public prosecutions has confirmed his principal legal advisor will occur and review the papers from time when a case was put to the cps for prosecution. the director specifically is going to consider what more can be done to alert relevant authorities whether it concerns but it prosecution has not taken forward. other institutions must do what they can do to make sure we learn the lessons of his that can never happen again. >> ed miliband.
