The mother of Victoria, spoke on BBC Radio 4. She thanked the government for establishing the inquiry but is "hurt" by the lack of action by local government.

Responding, Lord Laming agreed that the performance of social services was patchy and that some local authorities are not moving towards integrated working in the way intended.
