      Accountability and reliability are crucial in various sectors, including law enforcement and healthcare. In the UK, the government is taking action against rogue police officers by implementing stricter disciplinary measures to restore public trust. However, the focus on these panels might overlook the need for internal changes. Meanwhile, in the healthcare sector, over 340,000 people died while waiting for treatment in England last year, emphasizing the need for tackling the NHS backlog. The ongoing situation in Gabon, with the coup and potential instability, highlights the importance of accountability in politics as well. In the case of ADHD, people are struggling to get proper assessments and diagnoses, causing concern for researchers and charities. These issues underscore the significance of addressing internal systems and ensuring that those in positions of power are held accountable for the well-being of their communities.
