In his statement Dr Murray said,

“We are saddened to learn of the figures contained in today’s statement by the PSNI, but welcome the clarity that is being brought with regards to their ongoing criminal investigation.

When we announced in November our failures in central safeguarding, we called for victims, survivors, and those with concerns, to come forward. To those who have done so, we want to acknowledge their bravery, and apologise again to those who have suffered or been harmed due to our inactions or inadequate responses. For these, we continue to deeply lament.

“With regards to the investigation itself, we remain committed to co-operating fully with the police and would again encourage anyone who believes they may have relevant information, or who wishes to make a report, to do so via [email protected], or by contacting our safeguarding team on [email protected].”
