This case (and unfortunately, a number of others) highlights a problem which no politician, the police, the medical profession or social services can sort out.
It might sound like a simple problem to resolve, but when you think about what's involved - it becomes very, very complicated...and it's this:
There's almost no way or joining up information between the different services. They will record information on different database solutions, possibly on different platforms, and a red flag raised on one, would not necessarily be flagged on another.
Then there's the problem of ensuring that data is kept up to date, and more importantly, is accurate.
It is an absolute technical nightmare.
This is why when cases like this happen, it's much more satisfying to have an identifiable person to blame, because if we all sat back and thought about how to ensure it would never happen again, we'd get nosebleeds from overthinking it.
