:00:25. > :00:35.A tribute, but also an apology to the Mead family.
:00:36. > :00:38.And I've come here today to say sorry.
:00:39. > :00:40.Because this weekend, William should have been enjoying
:00:41. > :00:45.the beautiful Cornish sunshine with his parents.
:00:46. > :00:50.And because we - I as Health Secretary,
:00:51. > :00:56.the Government, the NHS - let down William, Paul and Melissa.
:00:57. > :01:02.We didn't spot his sepsis before it was too late.

:01:07. > :01:10.Today's service was her way of saying thank you to all
:01:11. > :01:15.I think are so many people who've been involved in the campaign,
:01:16. > :01:21.Without the Government support, without the support
:01:22. > :01:23.of all the organisations, we wouldn't be here where
:01:24. > :01:27.we are today and have made the change that we have made.
:01:28. > :01:29.Sepsis is a bacterial infection that attacks the organs and body tissues,
:01:30. > :01:34.killing 44,000 people in the UK every year.
:01:35. > :01:38.Today was also about raising awareness for its victims.
:01:39. > :01:42.I think for the family, and for other families of children
:01:43. > :01:44.who've died in the South West, of little Sam Morrish and,
:01:45. > :01:48.of course, Charlie Jermyn, this is about taking William's legacy,

:02:10. > :02:11.can't continue indefinately, according to the Police Federation.
:02:12. > :02:15.It comes as the force annouced members of the public may see
:02:16. > :02:19.an increase in patrols and more armed officers as a response
:02:20. > :02:22.to Wednesday's terror attack in Westminster.
:02:23. > :02:26.It's not something that can be achieved for a long-term response,
:02:27. > :02:29.due to the numbers of police officers there are.
:02:30. > :02:32.We've had a severe cut to the numbers and we haven't
:02:33. > :02:35.got sufficient police officers for that be sustainable.
:02:36. > :02:38.The threat level hasn't increased, and this will just be a response for
:02:39. > :02:42.reassurance for the public, based on what happened in London.
:02:43. > :02:45.But, no, I don't think that's sustainable.
