He is greater Manchester's top police officer force did not protect

a 15`year`old boy from an alleged sex offender, it is his actions as

well as those of his officers being questioned. And now, even though Sir

Peter Fahy is facing a investigation, the man with the

power to suspend him is standing by him. And on the basis of the

information provided to me so far the IPC see, I have no cause to take

any allegations. The Independent Police

Complaints Commission would likely in terms of putting these

allegations forward. A front line police officer, facing serious

allegations, would be suspended immediately. I don't think it

be any different for the chief constable. At the centre of one of

the investigations by independent release complaints

handled. Sir Peter Fahy is three serving officers handed a

criminal and gross misconduct notice over it. Another retired

Malcolm Vernon people could be looked after better

in their own homes rather than being admitted for long

stays in hospital. Everyday is a busy day for Doctor

Vernon. Today he will see 40 patients. Very busy. Every year gets

busier. All of his work is done in the community. Long`term hospital

beds are in short supply. The NHS has had to evolve over the last 50

or 60 years. It was designed for a different population. An ageing

population and long`term medical condition such as diabetes

dementia are threatening to overwhelm the NHS. Doctor Vernon

wants change. Two thirds of urgent care beds in the NHS are occupied by

people over the age of 65. We need to use hospitals in different
