We used to have to deal with a volunteer youth worker whose day job was in A&E.

People who deal with the consequences when things go wrong are rarely the best people to go to for a balanced view of whether there is a systemic problem. They are too closely acquainted with one small but highly traumatic part of the issue and their perspective is inevitably skewed.
