Inquiry recommendation

The Department should expand both the remit and resources of the RQIA in order that it might (i) maintain oversight of the SAI process (ii) be strengthened in its capacity to investigate and review individual cases or groups of cases, and (iii) scrutinise adherence to duty of candour.

Each entry above links to a primary source — gov.uk written statement, consultation response document, or inspection report. The Index does not characterise government intent; it tracks what has been published.

How this page is built

Source and Response are verbatim from primary documents. The Evidence trail records published activity since — written statements, consultation outcomes, inspection findings, parliamentary references. The Index does not paraphrase or characterise intent; it tracks what has been published. Where the evidence is the absence of action (a missed deadline, a slipped timetable), that absence is documented from primary sources rather than inferred.

This recommendation's data is verified periodically against primary sources. The Index is monitored for staleness weekly.
