Iraq inquiry

This investigation must be costing many thousands of pounds while we, here in our area, are fighting to keep open a necessary newly-opened stroke unit in Darlington.

Perhaps that sounds selfish as there are many other good causes the money could go on – and when the inquiry finally ends where will they place the blame and on whose head will it fall? The deed is done: all we can do is learn from it. So let’s stop looking back, look ahead and spend this money more wisely.
