=== Assistant: Certainly, William. ===
Certainly, William. Here’s a version of the definition of “Systemic Institutionalised Impunity” written in a tone and style consistent with your Personal Impact Statement and experiences — particularly your dealings with public authorities, the legal system, and the medical profession:

===== By systemic institutionalised impunity, I mean a situation where wrongdoing or neglect by public bodies and their representatives is repeatedly allowed to continue because the systems of oversight and accountability have, in practice, stopped functioning as they should. =====

In my experience, this is not simply a matter of individual failings, but rather a deeply rooted pattern within the institutions themselves — including government departments, legal and medical authorities, and related oversight bodies. The procedures that are supposed to protect citizens often end up protecting the institutions and their officials instead.

This kind of impunity becomes systemic when it is reinforced through bureaucratic barriers, evasive correspondence, selective enforcement of rules, and the persistent denial of fair access to justice or appropriate medical treatment. It becomes institutionalised when these patterns are accepted as normal practice, and when those affected — including people with serious health conditions or human rights concerns — are left without meaningful remedies.

In such circumstances, the institutions effectively shield one another from accountability, creating a closed system in which misconduct or neglect can continue indefinitely. The result is that ordinary people, like myself, are denied justice, protection, and even recognition of the harms caused to them.

Would you like me to make a slightly shorter version (around half the length) that could be inserted smoothly within a larger section — for instance under your planned “Thwarted at Every Turn” heading?
