YESTERDAY we said that we cannot go on year after year reading reports into killings involving mentally ill people which admit that they should not have happened.

When the 87 pages of yesterday's report into the fatal shooting of Anthony Rigby were finally released they actually pinpointed even worse failures than had been expected.

Mark Harrington had a well documented history of violence but in the eleven weeks following his discharge from Queen's Park Hospital he had just four contacts with health professionals.

Today people at a calls centres in India know details of our individual spending habits and we can be tracked down if our car strays over 30mph anywhere in the country.

Yet someone who was clearly a walking timebomb was able to wander around East Lancashire at will.

We have a collective wringing of hands from social services and health professionals who will, we are told, "work...to prevent incidents like this in the future."

That's not good enough for the family of Anthony Rigby or the rest of us. We have a right to know precisely what will be different from now on.

The report also says "disciplinary action should be considered in appropriate cases."

The council and Primary Care Trust have a duty to take such action and to make it public too. Unless they do suspicion will remain that action has been limited to public expressions of sorrow and a few internal memos.
